The myth of springtime is a brilliant metaphor for love, an ever-inspiring subject for poets and musicians. This recording assembles a tapestry of tiny poetic and musical gems sixteenth to eighteenth century Italy, England, and France. Youth, beauty, and love are their inspiration. Some are well known, some rescued from dusty library volumes, and others remain part of our folk culture and are reborn in this collection in new forms. Perhaps music, as the most temporal of the arts, is the most appropriate medium to express the transience of the subject at hand…
