When I Am Laid in Earth – also famously known as "Dido's Lament" from Henry Purcell's masterpiece opera Dido and Aeneas – is one of the most moving and timeless melodies in music history. In this tasteful arrangement for violin and piano, the piece unfolds its incomparable emotional depth in a captivating new light. The violin embraces the melancholic vocal line with expressive cantabile tone, while the piano gently supports the iconic descending ground bass motif (basso ostinato).
