Saltarello is a medieval dance. Guillaume Dufay, a Belgian composer, wrote this one. He lived in the 15th century. I used his music as a melody and let BIAB compose the music around it. Rob took care of the backing vocal in the third chorus and the final mix.
Style is _STQRPEH.STY (String Quartet Hall Pop 8ths)

Saltarello
Come on sweet love take my hand and dance with me We’ll dance to places no one else has ever seen Where fables abide and fantasies linger imagination and wonderful dreams Come on sweet love take my hand and dance with me
Come on my love let’s dance into another space There’s music that you won’t hear in any other place We will encounter beautiful stories magnificent poems, and delicate songs Come on my love let’s dance into another space
Come on my love hurry on and don’t let time go by I’ll give you wings so you can raise me up into the sky Let’s enjoy music, tales and dancing Finding ourselves and live out our dreams Come on my love, let’s dare and love will be our guide
Repeat first verse

Hello Anne-Marie and Rob This is beautiful Your singing is as always absolutely brilliant And you have chosen the 100 percent fitting BiaB tracks to go with it Listening to you is a pleasure Thanks for sharing Many greetings Andi ;-)
This is some of the best work presented here! The video and track were certainly meant for each other! Such professionalism on display with the whole package! Your vocals are excellent! Thanks, Torrey
ALL OF THE ABOVE. there's some sibilant stuff that could be tidied...I suspect the reverb is accentuating it...in my ears. Keeping almost lost melodies alive - well done and thanks.

I'm a huge fan of early music, so I loved this. What a great voice! Some of the most beautiful music ever is from this period. Well done, I hope you will do more like this.

This is a very lovely song you made. So nice to imagine it's an old melody, well very old, that you brought back. And not only that, you made it sound like a song from now. Beautiful voice (but be careful on the reverb!)and lovely harmony in the third verse.
I enjoyed your performance very much, or: ik heb echt van jullie uitvoering van dit lied genoten! Ben ook blij weer eens Nederlanders in het forum te zien (= als glad to meet Dutchies in the forum),
I'm struck by the essence of femininity in this song.
I know we have a few ladies participating here but, as far as I can tell, the majority of songs are from men. The choice of music coupled with the female vocal just makes this more delicate and touching than what the men usually produce. The video is also perfectly done.
Another early music lover here, so glad to hear the 15th century being kept alive in the 21st. Thanks for the link to the original, it helps show off your own contributions to the present work.
Your song provided a lovely showcase for BIAB's facility with virtually every genre of music that exists on this Earth. The RealTracks you employed in service to the melody (beautifully expressed in the ecstatic lyrics) resulted in the creation of a piece that was saturated with an air of gentleness and innocence. I agree entirely with 'Captain Moto'(s) comment about the production.
Any form of music that invites listeners to dance together in a mutually agreeable social setting, to touch each other while moving their bodies in graceful patterns over the floor, is music that serves to heighten the experience of living, and that is something to celebrate!
Thank you for contributing such a stress-abolishing, worry-erasing song to the User's Forum
