Eli Tamar wrote the aria in memory of the recently departed Queen Elizabeth II of England. The text of the aria is taken from the libretto of the Reverend Thomas Morell to Handel's oratorio "Iepta" 1751.
🎵 "Waft her, angels, through the skies"
Waft her, angels, through the skies,
Far above yon azure plain,
Glorious there, like you, to rise,
There, like you, for ever reign.
