Handel, G F. As When The Dove Laments Her Love. Voice. Plan. Sheet Music. Piano, Soprano. PF. SOP. George Frideric Handel.

Original

Of all the operas written by Handel, Acis and Galatea – originally possibly written as a masque or little opera – has never passed from the repertoire since its first public performances in 1731. It is considered the pinnacle of English pastoral opera and has been adapted and arranged many times. This Soprano aria, As When the Dove Laments Her Love, is frequently performed as a recital piece, requiring a Vocal dexterity in a short cadenza-like phrase before the cadence.
