Air in Italian . Musical piece born in the Renaissance sung by a soloist, usually with accompaniment of the orchestra and integrated into a major work such as an opera. Those of Italian composers such as Verdi's Donna è mobile or Bach's are well known. But for this time I'm going to stay with Dido's Lament, (when I am laid in earth), in the opera dido and Aeneas by the English composer Henry Purcell. A preciousness.
