From 'Orpheus'. Composed by E. Michaelson. Arranged by Edward Michaelson. Band Music. Score only. Duration 3:45. Published by G & M Brand Music Publishers (CN.S11185).

Michaelson utilizes the flutes as the featured instrument in this heartbreaking arrangement of Gluck's most famous aria from the opera "Orpheus." Orpheus is in despair at this point in the opera: he sings of losing his love Eruidice, "She is gone and gone forever," (Che Faro senza Euridice). What is the point of staying on earth without her?

This is probably Gluck's most famous aria, coming from the opera "Orpheus" which was based on the Greek legend and produced in Vienna in 1762. Orpheus is in despair at this point in the opera: he sings of losing his love Eruidice, "She is gone and gone forever," (Che Faro senza Euridice). What is the point of staying on earth without her?
