A recitative from this opera references its first aria by beginning with the notes C-C-B in C minor. A thunderclap concludes an “echo dance” from the “witches scene” of this (10[1])opera’s second act. A strangely joyful sea shanty about taking a “boozy short leave” opens this opera’s third act. Two dances in the early score for this opera suggest its composer called for guitar in the (15[1])continuo. A repeated chromatic descent from G to D serves as the textbook example of ground (*) bass in this opera’s final (10[1])aria. This opera, with libretto by Nahum Tate, was inspired by John (10[2])Blow’s Venus and Adonis. This opera’s protagonist sings “Thy hand, Belinda”right before (10[1])“When I am Laid in Earth,” her so-called “Lament.” For 10 points, name this baroque opera by Henry Purcell about the Queen of Carthage and a Trojan prince. ■END■
