Cogli La Prima Mela

Cogli la prima mela is an album by Italian singer-songwriter Angelo Branduardi. It was released in 1979 by Polydor. The title track is a re-imagining of a medieval Hungarian melody, entitled "U našeho Bárty". Also the music of "Donna ti voglio cantare" is based on a medieval melody by Pierre Attaingnant, entitled "Tourdion", which Branduardi himself recorded for his later album Futuro antico II. The lyrics to "La raccolta" are taken from a poem by Sappho, while the music is from the Romanian folk ballad "M-am suit în dealul Clujului". Finally, the song "Ninna nanna" is the Italian version of "Mary Hamilton", an English traditional song also recorded by Joan Baez.
