About This Song
About "Proserpine, LWV 58, Act I Scene 2: Ritournelle. Mercure, quel dessein vous fait ici descendre ? (Cérès, Mercure)" by Christophe Rousset
A ritournelle shimmers before Mercury's descent, his winged arrival cutting through Cérès's serenity. Rousset shapes the dialogue with quicksilver tension, the strings a nervous shimmer—divine messenger as unsettling intruder, announcing fate's cruel machinery.
