Josquin: Dulces exuviae - Huelgas

Josquin des Près: Dulces exuviae Huelgas Ensemble Paul Van Nevel Score: (Pothárn Imre) The text is taken form Virgil’s Aeneid, the last words of Dido before her suicide. Dulces exuviae, dum fata deusque sinebat, accipite hanc animam meque his exsolvite curis. Vixi et, quem dederat cursum Fortuna, peregi, et nunc magna mei sub terras ibit imago. (Vergilius: Aeneis, 4, 651-654) === ENGLISH === Objects dear to me, while divine fate allowed it: receive this life and release me from these troubles. I have lived; and the course that fortune had allotted to me I have fulfilled; and now the great ghost of myself will go beneath the earth.
