Purcell - Dido and Æneas - When I Am Laid in Earth – KSANA & MIKHAIL SHILYAEV

“When I am Laid In Earth” is a beautiful and heart-wrenching aria from the opera “Dido and Aeneas” by Henry Purcell. The song has been performed countless times since it was first composed in the late 17th century and remains one of the most iconic pieces of baroque music.

The text, and Purcell's opera, is based to the Aeneid, the Roman legend of the Trojan warrior Aeneas, travelling to Italy from the fallen Troy in order to settle there and secure his son Ascanius's lineage. Their ship is blown off course from Sicily, and they land on the shore of North Africa, in Carthage, a town newly settled by refugees from Tyre. Aeneas falls in love with their queen, Dido, but dutifully departs for Italy, leaving her. Distraught at his betrayal, she orders a pyre to be built and set ablaze so that Aeneas will see from his ship that she has killed herself. She sings the lament before stabbing herself as Aeneas sails on.
