The third movement of Vivaldi's "Summer" concerto from his famous work "The Four Seasons" depicts an impending storm. The storm is unleashed through furious repetition in the lower strings representing thunder. Lightning is represented by call and answers between the higher and mid strings. The full orchestra joining represents the heavy rainfall, while the solo violin tries in vain to flee the destruction around them as the storm's wrath intensifies. Eventually the peasant succumbs to the relentless storm in the final moments.
