Product Description

Handel's "Largo" from the opera Xerxes, also known as "Ombra mai fu," is a vital aria composed by George Frideric Handel in 1738. Despite the opera being a commercial failure, the aria was rediscovered in the 19th century and became one of Handel's best-known pieces. It is often performed at solemn occasions such as funerals and weddings and has been arranged for various instruments and voices. The aria is set to one of Handel's best-known melodies and is typically played in an orchestral arrangement. It is known for its serene and solemn character, making it a popular choice for vocal and instrumental performances. The aria is in the key of F major and is typically performed at a slow tempo, lasting about three to four minutes. George Frideric Handel was a significant German-English Baroque composer known for his operas, oratorios, and instrumental works, with "Messiah" among his most famous compositions.
