Product Description

A beautiful and unique a capella SAB arrangement of the famous English Baroque aria filled with expressive sorrow and beauty. The aria is from Purcell's opera "Dido and Aeneas" based on the epic poem by Virgil about the Trojan warrior Aeneas. The warrior falls in love with a foreign queen Dido but as he dutifully departs to continue his quest, she sings this lament before being set ablaze in a pyre to be seen from Aeneas's ship sailing away.
