The Age of Spring

I went to Sophia Gardens with my new video camera and shot some of the spring flowers so made this Video with some music by Vivaldi, although not the piece one might expect. The peice is called "Juditha Triumphans Devicta Holofernes Barbarie" (rv.644) and is available for free from the Internet Archive public domain Classical Music collection. http://www.archive.org
Along with many other interesting peices of audio and music. Which is great for making films especially with singing daffodils :)

I have loved Daffodils since I was a child. In 1963 when we bought our first home I have planted them every year i all sizes, hues and now have thousands of them. Everytime I see them blowing in the breeze I feel like the music you have here.

@singatune Thanks for the nice comment. Sounds like you have an impressive display. The music does seem rather appropriate :)

Hello, our group for school was planning to use this song for a project, but I am unable to find the song anywhere on the website, can you tell me what to type in and what to click on for the site if at all possible.

It doesn't seem to be there any more. I could email it. If you message me an email address :)

Beautiful spring and music......

Thanks :) Actually the Orchestra is: Symphony Orchestra of the Scuola Veneziana. The other details are on the record cover image. Unfortunately I can't post the URL, but it's easy to find at archive dot org if you search for vivaldi :)

Certo... sei molto poetico... però il testo di questo pezzo dell'oratorio parla di guerra e distruzione... è una marcia guerriera!!! cmq sei stato bravo... ma di chi è questa esecuzione?

[artberry]

Yeah but when the seemingly chaotic forces of nature work together so that even the flowers dance one sees the birth of God like a pheonix riseing from the ashes of death, a resurection and reincarnation, an awakening after the long winter chill in eternal and ancient cycle of the Universe. That's what the music made me think and even it's nievety, as if born on the edges of chaos alive and childlike, seemed to fit with what I saw :)

La musica sarebbe bella, ma questa sembra una marcia funebre... e una esecuzione primitiva, quasi una prova d'orchestra... Vivaldi non si suona così...!!! sentite l'esecuzione del Sardelli e rifatevi le orecchie... ;-)

Well it wasn't very windy that day but there was a bit of a breeze in that spot probably because it wasn't far from the river. Kind of makes them dance :)
