Claudio Monteverdi, L'incoronazione di Poppea
Oblivion Soave ("Adagiati, Poppea")

Adagiati, Poppea,
Acquietati, anima mia:
Sarai ben custodita.
Oblivion soave
I dolci sentimenti
In te, figlia, addormenti.
Posatevi occhi ladri,
Aperti deh che fate,
Se chiusi anco rubate ?
Poppea, rimanti in pace;
Luci care e gradite,
Dormite omai dormite.
Amanti vagheggiat'
Il miracolo novo:
È luminoso il dì, sì come suole,
E pur vedete, addormentato il sole.

O let me weep, for ever weep, 
My Eyes no more shall welcome Sleep; 
I'll hide me from the sight of Day, 
And sigh, and sigh my Soul away. 
(He's gone, he's gone, his loss deplore; 
And I shall never see him more.)

Hilary Hahn plays Bach: Violin Sonatas Nos. 1 & 2; Partita No. 1

A keyboard masterpiece by the greatest English composer Henry Purcell (1659 - 1695). Performed by Anton Batagov (piano) in 2013.
This piece could have been the ultimate soundtrack for any postmodern movie.
Michael Nyman's music from THE DRAUGHTSMAN'S CONTRACT written 30 years ago is a contemporary meditation on this GROUND. I love Nyman's version but I think the original Purcell's piece sounds even fresher today ...
