Among the grounds contained in the Opera of Purcell, Dido and Aeneas, he is undoubtedly the best known: he corresponds to the death of Dido, abandoned. Chromatic bass is always repeated identical while singing develops in the very expressive style of lamentation with surprising freedom. Melodic turns and characteristic rhythms of the English composer. (automatic translation)
