Dido's Lament from Henry Purcell's Opera Dido and Aeneas is the closing aria in which she sings the lament before stabbing herself as Aeneas sails on into the sunset. This tragic aria based on the Roman epic poem by Virgil is beloved by audiences around the world.

A chromatically descending ground bass repeats eleven times and structures this work of genius.

Keith Terrett has beautifully arranged this work for Trumpet in B-flat with keyboard of Harpsichord or Piano and optional Lute or Guitar and Double Bass. It is suitable for advanced intermediate performers.
