| Program Notes | Giovine vagha, i' non senti is a composition in one movement which is based upon a two-part 'ballata' of the 14th-century composer Francesco Landini. Using the form and substance of the Landini 'ballata', my instrumental sextet mixes music from Landini's work with my own in a web of interlaced sound. I recall that, as I was writing the piece, I imagined the music of Landini transformed from music for two voices into a lively and colorful instrumental dance. The 14th-century 'ballata' form usually consisted of five musical phrases matched with four poetical ones, and my work is also structured in five sections. The text from the Landini ballata follows. Giovine vagha, i' non senti giammay Amorosa virtue, Ma tu, somma salute, Nel cor di me, tuo servo, messa l'ay. Quando negli chi tuo' primeramente Si spechi arono miey. Vividi dentro amor'e puramente In ver di lui mi fey. Et non pensando al poter degli dei Mi stava pargoletto. Poi cercandomi el petto Lo stral dorato dentro vi trovay. A translation of this medieval text is: Comely maiden, I never felt love's virtue, but you, the highest good, have placed it in my heart, your servent. When first my eyes were mirrored in yours, I saw Love inside and in seeing it I became pure. And not thinking of the power of the gods I was like a child, but then I found within my breast the golden arrow. David Liptak |
