And the mountain tops that freeze,
Bow themselves when he did sing
~Shakespeare

Orpheus with his lute, sung by Olivia Manna, words by Wm. Shakespeare, music by Wm. Schuman:

I've loved Vivaldi since I first was introduced to his music in high school. We sang something complicated in chorus. (I'm sure my sister remembers what it was, but alas, I do not.) Thanks for sharing! xoxo
