Musik am Morgen: Gentle airs, melodious strains (G. F. Händel)

aus dem Oratorium "Athalia" (1733)

Es singt Anthony Rolfe-Johnson.

Gentle airs, melodious strains!

Call for raptures out of woe,

Lull the regal mourners' pains,

Sweetly soothe her as you flow.

Gentle airs. . . da capo

(Libretto: Samuel Humphreys)
