Dido’s Lament - from Dido and Aneas by Henry Purcell - Performed by soprano Jessye Norman
From her wiki page:
According to the Encyclopædia Britannica: “By the mid-1980s she was one of the most popular and highly regarded dramatic soprano singers in the world.”[10] She was invited to sing at the second inauguration of U.S. President Ronald Reagan on January 21, 1985, an invitation which she debated accepting, as an African American[citation needed] and a Democrat (as well as a nuclear disarmament activist). In the end, she did accept and sang the folk song “Simple Gifts”.
