Poems and translations

for the two “Spring” pieces Antonio Guido: Le Printemps (Spring) from Scherzi Armonici (Harmonic Jests)

Les Characteres des Saisons The Characteristics of the Seasons

Les Temps vole, mortels, nous volons avec luy, Time flies, mortals, taking us with it; La nuit succeed au jour et fait place a l’aurore, Night follows day, and cedes to dawn, Chace saison s’enfuit et s’empresse d’éclore; Each season flees and makes haste to blossom. Goutons le doux plaisirs, nous vivons aujord’ huy. Let us taste the sweet joys, because we live today. Le Printemps Spring

Le triste hyver ne’est plus, le Printemps prend sa place Sad winter is no more, and spring approaches. Tout renâit avec luy, tout rit sur nos Coteaux; All is revived, our hills are blooming; Les ruissseaux dans leurs cours, ne trouvent plus de glace The rivers no longer in their beds find ice, & le Champs sonst ouverts aux bondissants troupeaux. The fields offer themselves up to the skipping herds. Le tender Rossingnol, par de charmants rammages, The gentle nightingale, charmingly twittering, Se plait dans ses amours, ou change son bonheur; Laments her love or sings of happiness; Tous les autres Oyseaux en differents langages, All the other birds in many languages Experiment comme luy les secrets de leur Cœur. Like her reveal the secrets of their hearts. Quel son frappe les Airs? La Trompette bruyants What sound is striking the air? A noisy trumpet Avertit les guerriers, announce les Combats Warns the warriors, announces battle. Volez, heros, volez a la gloire éclantante, Fly, you heroes, fly towards glorious triumph, D’une victoire insigne, ou d’un noble trepas. Excellent victory, or noble death. Et vould heureux Bergers, accordez vos musettes And you, merry herdsmen, tune your bagpipes. Les Brebis à leur gré, paissent do toutes parts; The sheep are grazing around you; Les danses, les chansons dans vos douces retraites, The dances, the songs in your comfortable home Font naitre autant de feux, que le tender regards. Create as much fire as the gentle looks.

Antonio Vivaldi: Concerto No. 1 in E major, La Primavera (Spring), Op. 8 No. 1 Allegro

Giunt' è la Primavera e festosetti Spring has arrived with joy !La Salutan gl' Augei con lieto canto, ! Welcomed by the birds with happy songs, E i fonti allo Spirar de' Zeffiretti ! And the brooks, amidst gentle breezes, Con dolce mormorio Scorrono intanto: ! Murmur sweetly as they flow.

Vengon' coprendo l' aer di nero amanto ! The sky is caped in black, and E Lampi, e tuoni ad annuntiarla eletti Thunder and lightning herald a storm !Indi tacendo questi, gl' Augelletti; ! When they fall silent, the birds Tornan' di nuovo al lor canoro incanto. Take up again their delightful songs. Largo!

E quindi sul fiorito ameno prato ! And in the pleasant, blossom-filled meadow, Al caro mormorio di fronde e piante ! To the gentle murmur of leaves and plants, Dorme 'l Caprar col fido can' à lato. The goatherd sleeps, his faithful dog beside him. Allegro

!Di pastoral Zampogna al suon festante ! To the merry sounds of a rustic bagpipe, Danzan Ninfe e Pastor nel tetto amato ! Nymphs and shepherds dance in their beloved spot Di primavera all' apparir brillante. When Spring appears in splendour.
