Lascia ch'io pianga illustrates Handel’s freedom in the reuse of his own works, and how he moved easily between the instrumental and vocal idioms. It originated as an instrumental Sarabande in his 1705 opera Almira, then appeared as the aria the aria "Lascia la spina, cogli la rosa", or "Leave the Thorn, Take the Rose", in his 1707 oratorio Il trionfo del Tempo e del Disinganno. Handel reused the material as the aria Lascia ch'io pianga in Rinaldo. This arrangement, for modern flute and piano, returns the music to its instrumental origins; the ornamentation of the da capo is informed by vocal practice, but is designed to be idiomatic for the Boehm system flute.
