一直為這幅創作掙扎於兩段音樂之間

(1) "When I Am Laid In Earth"

"Dido's Lament: When I Am Laid In Earth"(  Henry Purcell, Dido and Aeneas (1689)

When I am laid, am laid in earth, may my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in, in thy breast.
When I am laid, am laid in earth, may my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in, in thy breast.
Remember me, remember me, but ah!
Forget my fate.
Remember me, but ah!
Forget my fate.
Remember me, remember me, but ah!
Forget my fate.
Remember me, but ah!
Forget my fate.

 

(2) . 然後我想, 一定要這麼悲傷嗎?

 

某日, 妹妹哼了段音樂在LINE, 她一時想不起這音樂, 我慌了, 通常這不是困難的事, 但我就是想不起。從小，我們一起在古典音樂與歌劇中長大，互相扶持。趕緊求救長期司琴的牧師娘友，直覺就是教會常唱的歌……她想起, 叫做”Largo” ……一切都清明了, 是Handel Xerxes’ aria  “Ombra mai fu “俗稱Largo)…….失戀的Xerxes王，感謝(感慨), 大樹永遠的庇蔭。

 

謝謝王寶祥教授硬是教唱這首歌。

Ombra mai fu
di vegetabile,
cara ed amabile,

soave più. 

(Never was a shade

of any plant
dearer and more lovely,
or more sweet.)
