Product Description

Dido's aria, "When I am laid in earth" is from Act 3 of the opera Dido and Aeneas by Henry Purcell composed around 1688.


The words are


When I am laid, am laid in earth, May my wrongs create

No trouble, no trouble in thy breast;

Remember me, remember me, but ah! forget my fate.

Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.


Here is an arrangement for solo cello and string orchestra
