Product Description

The last song from Henry Purcell's most known opera Dido and Aeneas has been arranged for string quintet (or ensemble). Purcell probably wrote the music about 1684-1685, when he was about 26. This chorus song, "With dropping wings, ye Cupids come," is played in act 3, after another famous song by Dido "When I am laid in earth" is performed.

Because the melodies of the violoncello are almost the same with those of the contrabass, this arrangement is also good for string quartet.
