Ecco la primavera!

Heyyyy we have profiles now? Wild. Guess what I'm gonna put on mine? Old-ass music no one was asking for! Probably. Dunno what else I'd post.

GWAB springtime song challenge made this lil thing pop back into my head - it's a ballata for two voices by 14th-century Italian composer Francesco Landini. I love the syncopation in this, and the way it clearly sounds happy without being in an upbeat major mode. Text and translation below! iPhone recording, so not the clearest quality, sry.

Ecco la primavera/ Che’l cor fa rallegrare,/ Temp’è d’annamorare/E star con lieta cera.	Spring has come apace /To waken hearts to gladness;/Time for lovers’ madness /And to wear a happy face.
Noi vegiam l’aria e’l tempo/Che pur chiam’ allegria/In questo vago tempo /Ogni cosa vagheça.	The elements together /Are beckoning to mirth/In this delightful weather, /Delight pervades the earth.
L’erbe con gran frescheça /E fior’ coprono i prati,/E gli albori adornati /Sono in simil manera.	The grass in fresh rebirth /Helps meadows come a-flower, /And every branch and bower,/ Is decked with kindred grace.
Ecco la primavera/ Che’l cor fa rallegrare,/ Temp’è d’annamorare/E star con lieta cera.	Spring has come apace /To waken hearts to gladness;/Time for lovers’ madness /And to wear a happy face.
