| Added by magataganm, 14 Jun 2014 George Frideric Handel (1685 – 1759) was a German-born Baroque composer famous for his operas, oratorios, anthems and organ concertos. Born in a family indifferent to music, Handel received critical training in Halle, Hamburg and Italy before settling in London (1712), and became a naturalized British subject in 1727. He was strongly influenced both by the great composers of the Italian Baroque and the middle-German polyphonic choral tradition.Lascia ch'io pianga is a soprano aria by composer George Frideric Handel which has become a popular concert piece. The melody for the song began its life as an Asian dance in his 1705 opera Almira. As an aria the piece was first used in Handel's 1707 oratorio Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno; albeit with a different text and name, "Lascia la spina". Handel later recycled the work for his 1711 opera Rinaldo, giving the aria to the character Almirena (portrayed by soprano Isabella Girardeau in the opera's premiere) in Act II. Rinaldo was a major triumph for Handel, and it is with this work that the aria is chiefly associated. The aria has been recorded by numerous artists on record and CD, and is featured in several films including Farinelli, All Things Fair by Bo Widerberg, L.I.E. by Michael Cuesta, Antichrist and Nymphomaniac volume II both by Lars von Trier. Although originally written for Opera, I created this arrangement for Viola & Concert (Pedal) Harp. Sheet central : | Rinaldo (90 sheet music) | | |||
