ATARAXIA – VIRIDITAS (taken from the album CENTAUREA / 2024)

Taken from the new Ataraxia album “Centaurea“ (to be released in May 2024 by The Circle Music) Link to buy: ATARAXIA : Francesca Nicoli: vocals Vittorio Vandelli: classical guitar, timpani Giovanni Pagliari: keyboards All music by Ataraxia. “Viriditas” is a Latin word much loved by Hildegard Von Bingen. It refers to ‘viridis’ that means ‘green’ from which ‘vis’ that’s ‘strenght’, ‘vir’ that’s ‘man’, ‘virgo’ that’s ‘maiden’, ‘ver’ that’s ‘springtime’, ‘virtus’ that’s ‘value’, ‘vita’ that’s ‘vital principle’. They are all words referring to an energetic principle that is in nature and it is trasmitted to humanity. The symbolism also refers to spiritual vigor as a green mantle wet with fruitful rain. The video is a tribute to Méxican and latin American friends and listeners that, along our musical journey, hosted us with warmth, affection and enthusiasm. The video is also dedicated, by the rest of the band, to the mastery of Vittorio Vandelli who, everytime he picks up his classical guitar, channels and brings us sublime melodies. “VIRIDITAS” is included in “CENTAUREA”, the new ATARAXIA album out in May 24 2024 for The Circle Music. This album is the second chapter of a trilogy inaugurated with “Pomegranate”.
