Violin Concerto in E major, RV 269, La Primavera "Spring"

from Vivaldi's Four Seasons - Live on Piano by Justin Bird

/

about

I. Allegro
Spring has arrived merrily
the birds hail her with happy song
and, meanwhile, at the breath of the Zephyrs
the streams flow with a sweet murmur:

thunder and lightning, chosen to proclaim her,
come covering the sky with a black mantle,
and then, when these fall silent, the little birds
return once more to their melodious incantation:

II. Largo e pianissimo sempre
and so, on the pleasant, flowery meadow,
to the welcome murmuring of fronds and trees,
the goatherd sleeps with his trusty dog beside him.

III. Allegro
To the festive sound of a shepherd’s bagpipe,
nymphs and shepherds dance beneath the beloved roof
at the joyful appearance of spring.

Translation by Paul Everett
