Now I see... it's not actually the sarabande that later was developed into Lascia la spina and then into now the most famous Lascia ch'io pianga. This one os from 1st Act of Almira and is in G minor. The one that became famous air is in the 3rd Act and (as well as airs) in major key (F).
Questa sarabanda è molto più vicina all'aria "Pena tiranna" (da "Amadigi") che alla famosa aria "Lascia la spina"/"Lascia ch'io pianga". Strano che nessuno lo dice
Hello, does anyone know where I can find the exact sheet ? I have been searching for it on Google but couldn't find... So I printed screenshots from the video, but the quality is not very good.
In Almira score it's in F set as melody and bass and music is a bit different. Where does your score come from? This version sounds more like later aria version.

Simple and beautiful.
Simple, delicate, beautiful.
Handel certainly knew how to put notes in the right order. :-)
Thank you very much Marc D.
pure genius...
Musica densa di equilibrio e carica di meditazione. La perfezione della simmetria.
Sublime rendition!
Brilliant.

Almira, Sarabanda= 1705
Il trionfo del tempo e del disinganno, lascia la spina, cogli la rosa=1707
Rinaldo, lascia ch'io pianga=1711

Uma maravilha, com certeza!
Pure genius!
@T. Bassett It's very common in 1600s French music like Lully and as you said Purcell, who learned a lot from 17th century French music.
