What music gets to you at a sad time

[Majorblue]

“When I am Laid in Earth” also known as Dido’s Lament from the opera Dido and Aeneas by Purcell. Often played in instrumental form on occasions such as Remembrance Day but not anywhere near as moving when sung. I also remember seeing on TV Grace Kelly’s funeral in 1982 with Prince Rainier sitting on his own with tears streaming down his face whilst an orchestra played Barber’s Adagio for Strings. Very moving.

Didn’t recognise this tune so went straight to google.

Thank you so much for making me aware of such a stunning piece of music.

Aside from the classical version I found a very moving interpretation by Annie Lennox with the City of London choir.

Oddly enough I thought of Annie Lennox when this thread came up. Her "Hurting Time" gets me every time.
