Product Details


Product Description

The action takes place in the Persian Empire in 480 BC. AD and is based somewhat on the story of Emperor Xerxes I. There is, however, little real connection between the Story and the libretto or its music. Serse's first aria, Ombra mai fu, is Xerxes' love song for a tree set to one of Handel's most beautiful and famous melodies, often performed in an orchestral arrangement. It is known as 'Largo de Haendel', although the score actually refers to it as 'larghetto'. Grade 2
