Calm thou my soul

Calm thou my soul,
Kind Isis, with a noble scorn of life,
Ideal joys, and momentary pains,
That flatter or disturb this waking dream.
Convey me to some peaceful shore,
Where no tumultuous billows roar,
Where life, though joyless, still is calm,
And sweet content is sorrow's balm.
There free from pomp and care, to wait,
Forgetting and forgot, the will of fate.

Sublime. That no-one has commented on this piece in a year seems extraordinary. Handel at his pared down best and Fleming at her height. My soul is calm.

The most beautiful singing.

This just goes to show that there doesn't need to be high notes for an aria to be gorgeous.

Thanks for posing this. "Calm Thou My Soul/Convey me to some peaceful shore" from Handel's oratorio Alexander Balus is so haunting, so gorgeous. Fleming sings it beautifully. I also like the version by Lynne Dawson. You can get it for Ipod.
