Giuseppe Verdi

Giuseppe Fortunino Francesco Verdi (Italian: [dʒuˈzɛppe ˈverdi]; 10 October 1813 – 27 January 1901) was an Italian composer of operas.

Verdi was born near Busseto to a provincial family of moderate means, and developed a musical education with the help of a local patron. Verdi came to dominate the Italian opera scene after the era of Bellini, Donizetti and Rossini, whose works significantly influenced him, becoming one of the pre-eminent opera composers in history.

In his early operas Verdi demonstrated a sympathy with the Risorgimento movement which sought the unification of Italy. He also participated briefly as an elected politician. The chorus "Va, pensiero" from his early opera Nabucco (1842), and similar choruses in later operas, were much in the spirit of the unification movement, and the composer himself became esteemed as a representative of these ideals. An intensely private person, Verdi however did not seek to ingratiate himself with popular movements and as he became professionally successful was able to reduce his operatic workload and sought to establish himself as a landowner in his native region. He surprised the musical world by returning, after his success with the opera Aida (1871), with three late masterpieces: his Requiem (1874), and the operas Otello (1887) and Falstaff (1893).

    Anels Over Me

    by: Virtue

    [Verse 1]
    They camp all around me
    So I have no fear
    They tell me he loves me
    Whisper it in my ear
    It means the world to me
    To have him near here
    These are my angels over me
    They come from the throne above
    Before his face
    They carry the light of love
    Cover me with grace
    They wanna see me complete this race
    These are my Angels Over me
    Oooh Help me sing
    [Chorus]
    I got Angels watching over me
    Watching my way both night and day
    I got Angels watching over me
    Fanning away the hurt the pain
    I got Angels watching over me
    They'll never fly away
    Angels over me
    [Verse 2]
    They silently hold me with their mighty wings
    When i cry they consume me with the songs they sing (ooh)
    When I sleep they watches over me
    Fan away evil things
    These are my Angels over me (oh)
    Say we don't even know this
    The protection they give
    Fall asleep on the road and yes
    I continue to live
    Sometimes I even which that they
    Wouldn't answer my calls
    But await vuring Angels
    They just won't let me fall
    No they won't
    (Repeat chorus 2x)
    But they'll never fly away
    They'll never, never let me down
