With Drooping Wings ye Cupids Come for String Ensemble by Henry Purcell String Orchestra - Digital Sheet Music
By Henry PurcellThe last song from Henry Purcell's most known opera Dido and Aeneas has been arranged for string quintet (or ensemble). Purcell probably wrote the music about 1684-1685, when he was about 26. This chorus song, "With dropping wings, ye Cupids come," is played in act 3, after another famous song by Dido "When I am laid in earth" is performed. Because the melodies of the violoncello are almost the same with those of the contrabass, this arrangement is also good for string quartet.
