## Summary

Piano quartet sheet music for 'When I Am Laid in Earth' (Dido's Lament) from the opera Dido and Aeneas, arranged for two pianos and eight hands.

## Description

Henry Purcell's masterpiece, Dido and Aeneas, is considered the high point of English opera. "When I Am Laid in Earth" is a poignant, lovely aria sung by the lovelorn, dying Queen Dido as her hero Aeneas sails away. Beautifully arranged by Sylvia Rabinof for two pianos, eight hands, the delicate simplicity sings forth with subtle strength. A Federation Festivals 2024-2028 selection.
