First published: unknown. Completeness: unknown.June, the Barcarolle from Tchaikovsky's The Seasons, begins with a gently rocking accompaniment and a long, singing melody. The music's quiet rises and falls create an intimate, reflective character. After the brief accompaniment alone, the theme climbs through an expressive phrase and settles into chordal answers. Repeated returns broaden the melody and give the lower voice more independence. A quicker transition leads to an Allegro giocoso in triple meter, where accented chords and buoyant figures build to a forceful peak. A descending bass line restores the opening tempo and the main song returns over a more active accompaniment. The coda passes short phrases between the registers before repeated rolled chords fade over sustained lower tones. The lively middle section changes to 3/4, while the surrounding Barcarolle is written in common time. The change gives the central episode a distinctly different rhythmic sway.
