A. Vivaldi Filiae Maestae Jerusalem RV 638 Sileant zephyri English and Latin lyrics

Filiae Maestae Jerusalem is a text that concerns the sad daughters of Jerusalem after the death of Jesus Christ and the mourning of nature itself. Philippe Jaroussky was the countertenor and conductor of this performance. The Artwork: A frieze of the purplewinged god of the north wind, Boreas, one of the four seasonal Anemoi (WindGods). He was also the god of winter who swept down from the cold mountains of Thrake (Thrace), chilling the air with his icy breath. I thought it fit the theme of the song quite well. I could not acquire any information about the artist, so if anyone contributes that I will add it to the description and give you credits. This was a particularly tough one to translate, as some sentences are translated differently when they are standalone as opposed to when they are incorporated into a bigger sentence. The way it is performed switches some words around which contextually changes the meaning.
