Description
This piece is from Antonio Vivaldi's Le quattro stagioni (The Four Seasons). This group of four violin concerti was written around 1716-1717 and first published in 1725. Each concerto in the group represents a different season, starting with Spring. Each concerto is also associated to a sonnet probably written by Vivaldi.
This Largo is from the Winter Concerto. It is one of the most well known pieces of Vivaldi and one of his most beautifuls. You can see below the verses corresponding to the Largo.
The Largo from the Winter Concerto is a calm and romantic melody that can be played almost anywhere during the wedding ceremony. You can use it as a beautiful processional, prelude or signature of the license music.
Lyrics
Allegro non molto Aggiacciato tremar trà nevi algenti Al Severo Spirar d' orrido Vento, Correr battendo i piedi ogni momento; E pel Soverchio gel batter i denti; Largo Passar al foco i di quieti e contenti Mentre la pioggia fuor bagna ben cento Allegro Caminar Sopra il giaccio, e à passo lento Per timor di cader gersene intenti; Gir forte Sdruzziolar, cader à terra Di nuove ir Sopra 'l giaccio e correr forte Sin ch' il giaccio si rompe, e si disserra; Sentir uscir dalle ferrate porte Sirocco Borea, e tutti i Venti in guerra Quest' é 'l verno, mà tal, che gioia apporte.
Allegro non molto To tremble from cold in the icy snow, In the harsh breath of a horrid wind; To run, stamping one's feet every moment, Our teeth chattering in the extreme cold Largo Before the fire to pass peaceful, Contented days while the rain outside pours down. Allegro We tread the icy path slowly and cautiously, for fear of tripping and falling. Then turn abruptly, slip, crash on the ground and, rising, hasten on across the ice lest it cracks up. We feel the chill north winds course through the home despite the locked and bolted doors... this is winter, which nonetheless brings its own delights.
