Handel Heals the Vandals

Very calming music. A good antidote to road rage?

Handel's "Qui l'augel di pianta in pianta" , from Aci, Galatea, e Polifimo

"Here the bird from tree to tree
   flies happily, singing sweetly,
  to charm a heart that languishes.
But he finds matter for lamentation
   only because I, afflicted and alone,
   O Gods! cannot find peace".

Translated by Roger L. Lustig

Singer: Nathalie Stutzmann, contralto.
