I would like to take credit for this approach, but in all honesty the season-by-season time scale was dictated by the filming schedule of the ITV series The Seasons, for which the suite provides a soundtrack. Composing ‘Autumn’ in the autumn or ‘Spring’ in the spring turned out to be more stimulating than I had anticipated, especially as the 12 months from September 2008 to August 2009 were unusually rich in seasonal difference in the British Isles, with a ‘proper’ snowy winter even in the temperate south of England where my family and I live, something that only comes around once a decade or so.
