Product Details

Product Description

An arrangement of the haunting tune 'When I am Laid in Earth', the closing aria from Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas for 10 piece brass ensemble.

Purcell's music features a ground bass, which really lends itself to the feeling of decent [into the grave]. This arragement retains its orignial 3/2 meter and key of g minor.

The preceeding recit is also featured in this arrangement.

Now often associated with Remembrance, the lament can be heard at the Cenotaph on Remembrance Sunday.

Standard line up for brass ensemble - using euphonium, flugehorn and an eb trumpet.

This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard's global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters. ArrangeMe allows for the publication of unique arrangements of both popular titles and original compositions from a wide variety of voices and backgrounds.
