Lascia ch’io pianga (Let me weep) from the opera RinaldoGeorg Friedrich Händel

Let me weep – Opera “Rinaldo” – Michie Nakamaru 0001

A famous aria from Act II of Handel’s opera Rinaldo.

Rinaldo was the first Italian opera Handel presented after arriving in London.

It is sung in a scene where the heroine Almirena, captured by an enemy sorcerer, laments her unhappy love as she longs for her beloved.

The piece is not only dark with sorrow over her pitiable situation, but also features a very sweet melody that symbolizes Almirena’s youth and beauty.

Ave MariaFranz Peter Schubert

Schubert – Ave Maria

Alongside Gounod/Bach’s and Caccini’s Ave Maria, it is regarded as one of the world’s three great Ave Marias.

Its lyrics are taken from the epic poem The Lady of the Lake by the Scottish poet Walter Scott.

Within the story of The Lady of the Lake, the character Ellen Douglas—known as the Lady of the Lake—who is being pursued by the king, softly intones a prayer to the Virgin Mary, and those words became the lyrics.

Its beautiful melody conveys the earnestness of the prayer and is deeply compelling.
