About This Song
About "Serse, HWV 40, Act I Scene 14: Aria. Se l'idol mio (Romilda)" by Chor Der Bayerischen Staatsoper
A Baroque aria where Romilda's devotion flickers like a candle in a drafty hall—Handel's melody hovers between tender certainty and fragile doubt, the chorus framing her vow with hushed, trembling strings.
