The greatest of all musical myths tells how the Thracian siner Orpheus looses his beloved Eurydice to death, saved her from the underground world but again looses her. This highly dramatic and tragic story was extremely popular with composers of the early seventeenth century who express Orpheus' sentiments, joys and laments in virtuoso, moving airs
