Georg Friedrich Händel : Ombra mai fu (from the opera "Xerxes")
Georg Friedrich Händel’s aria “Ombra mai fu” achieves its distinctive sense of calm because the vocal line contains almost no major leaps and closely follows the steady pulse of the strings. It is also noteworthy that this world-famous opera piece is not dedicated to a beloved person, but rather to the quiet contemplation of a tree, which lends the opera’s opening an unusually intimate atmosphere.
Arrangement of the famous aria (commonly called "Largo") without text for organ (C. F./melody in pedal).
