In every one of my game settings featuring Highborn or some courtier / noblity scene this interlude plays on a loop inside my head hehe
Monteverdi: L'Orfeo / Act I - "In questo lieto e fortunato giorno"
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=g9gnoH9J1sMPASTORE I
In questo lieto e fortunato giorno
Ch'ha posto fine a gli amorosi affanni
Del nostro semideo, cantiam, pastori,
In sì soavi accenti,
Che sian degni d'Orfeo nostri concenti.
Oggi fatta è pietosa
L'alma già sì sdegnosa
Della bell'Euridice.
Oggi fatto è felice
Orfeo nel sen di lei, per cui già tanto
Per queste selve ha sospirato e pianto.
FIRST SHEPHERD
On this happy and auspicious day
which has put an end to the amorous torments
of our demigod, let us sing, shepherds,
in such sweet accents
that our strains shall be worthy of Orpheus.
Today fair Eurydice's heart,
formerly so disdainful,
has been touched with compassion;
today Orpheus has been made happy
in the bosom of her for whom he once
sighed and wept so much amongst these woods.
