UPDATED 10 APRIL 2026
We're hopeful, happy and giddy in anticipation of what Spring might bring, and this beautiful playlist of music from the 14th to 16th centuries perfectly reflects these timeless sentiments. This springtime playlist opens (and closes) with Landini's ballata Ecco la Primavera, composed in the 14th century, celebrating spring and love.
The playlist is available on Spotify.
