Dido's Lament by Henry Purcell. Tim Send a noteboard - 07/06/2010 11:34:37 PM
It's baroque, it's mournful, it's in G minor, and it's addressed to Dido's lover Aeneas (covering "romantic" with a small r – finding a piece that's both Baroque and Romantic is of course impossible).

Will that do?

When I am laid, am laid in earth, May my wrongs create
No trouble, no trouble in thy breast;
Remember me, remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
Vigilantibus non dormientibus jura subveniunt.

—Nous disons en allemand : le guerre, le mort, le lune, alors que 'soleil' et 'amour' sont du sexe féminin : la soleil, la amour. La vie est neutre.

—La vie ? Neutre ? C'est très joli, et surtout très logique.

Here is one that came to mind. Not quite the best version, but still a worthy performance. Tashmere - 07/06/2010 03:56:28 AM 532 Views
The Adagio of Rachmaniov's Piano Concerto 2 is...moving. It was actually the first that came to mind Tashmere - 07/06/2010 04:07:27 AM 503 Views
You may be able to find what you are looking for in the adagio of Rachmaninov's Second Symphony. Tashmere - 07/06/2010 04:23:02 AM 483 Views
Here is the second part. I love the French Horns. My heart is melting as I listen to this. Tashmere - 07/06/2010 04:26:35 AM 480 Views

I had forgotten about Kanno. She did something I really enjoyed but I can't remember what it was now Tashmere - 07/06/2010 05:13:07 AM 359 Views

Huh, I didn't think I would like it at first but it grew on me long before the end of the song. Tashmere - 09/06/2010 11:38:24 PM 351 Views
I know nothing of keys, and it's definitely not baroque. nossy - 10/06/2010 03:26:00 AM 498 Views
