Random Facts: Sylus
Antonio Vivaldi:
At the start of chapter 2 of Sylus' "Twilight Chronicles" event story, Sylus briefly hums a melody.
This melody is from "The Four Seasons", a group of four violin concerti by Antonio Vivaldi - each themed for the four seasons of the year (Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter). The specific melody he hums is from the first movement of "Spring" (aka Allegro: Concerto No. 1 in E Major, "Spring")
Interesting Facts:
Each movement of each concerto is actually accompanied by a sonnet. Though it is not known for sure who wrote them, it is widely theorized that the sonnets were also written by Antonio Vivaldi. Below is the English translation of the sonnet corresponding with the first movement of "Spring".
Allegro
"Springtime is upon us.
The birds celebrate her return with festive song,
and murmuring streams are
softly caressed by the breezes.
Thunderstorms, those heralds of Spring, roar,
casting their dark mantle over heaven,
Then they die away to silence,
and the birds take up their charming songs once more."
