    The piece is an arrangement of Henry Purcell's opera Dido and Aeneas. It features a soprano solo singing Dido's Lament, accompanied by a wind quartet. Dido sings of her despair over Aeneas abandoning her.

    The piece depicts Dido's despair and grief after her lover Aeneas abandons her to sail for Italy and fulfill his destiny of founding Rome.

    In her lament, Dido expresses deep sadness, sorrow, and despair over being abandoned by Aeneas. She sings of the darkness enveloping her and of welcoming death as an escape from her pain and suffering.
