This poem by an anonymous Mantuan dates back to the thirteenth century and represents a unique example of poetry written to be intended to accompany a dance. In the ballata the poet invites women not to hide their beauties and to leave the house to dance and celebrate Spring. The whole poem refers to the May dances that took place in honor of the arrival of Spring, in the lyrics the dance is named as “la rota“ a folk dance survived to our days embodied in the sardinian ballu tundu. The poem is taken from the manuscript “nouvelles acquisitions françaises 7516“ of the National Library of France, coming from the Gonzaga library in Mantua.
The manuscript opens with Denis Piramus’s “Roman de Partenopeus de Blois“, a chivalrous poem written in Old French. At the end of the novel the writing style changes and from orderly and precise, it becomes a confused, upside down and chaotic writing and this is where the poetry we set to music is to be found.
