Alessandro Botticelli, "La primavera" 1478-1485 Guys, here's Spring! and this morning I feel it in the air. I pay homage to Nature is awakening and that frees us from winter torpor, and I take this opportunity to greet one of the greatest Italian composers of the past, Claudio Monteverdi.

Zefiro torna, and gentle words
the EAR grateful, and 'l footer dissolves in the waves, and murmuring
among the green leaves,
brings dance to the beautiful sound su'l meadow flowers.
Crowned with the crown for Phyllis and Chloris
tempran notes of love, care and joyous;
and mountains and deep valleys ime
radoppian harmony singing the caves;
rises more vague in the dawn sky, and 'the sun
spreads more lights or more pure silver
Teti boasts the beautiful cerulean mantle.
Sol I, for abandoned groves and sun,
the ardor of two beautiful eyes It 's my torment,
as does my good fortune, or cry or sing.
(Ottavio Rinuccini)

This small masterpiece is part of the collection "Playing music" by Claudio Monteverdi in 1632.
It 's a chaconne for two voices (originally designed for two levels by Monteverdi) a duet. The song structure is pretty simple; A first, very rhythmic and regular, takes place on the chaconne bass ostinato and repeated so is the image of Nature is awakening and who is the messenger of Zephyr.
The second part, which coincides with the verse "... I Sol", is clearly contrary to the first, is form of recitative declamation and expression of romantic melancholy of the poet's most intimate. The song is great adhesion to the text of Rinuccini, so it is a beautiful combination of music and speech, also thanks to the colors and so-called Madrigals on some keywords like " aer " waves " murmur " dance", and who bring the bubbling joyousness of Nature awakens.
