This is one of my all-time favorite pieces, been wanting to record it for a while but I wanted to make sure I did it justice! Might not be a 100% appropriate approach, but I quite like how it turned out 😊

(By the way, if you see me weirdly looking down during the recitativo it's because I was trying to follow the wave pattern of the piano track I recorded this with, to make sure I fell on time 😅).
--

Thy hand, Belinda; darkness shades me,
On thy bosom let me rest,
More I would, but Death invades me;
Death is now a welcome guest.

When I am laid in earth,
May my wrongs create
No trouble in thy breast;
Remember me, but ah! forget my fate.
