Henry Purcell (1659-1695) - "Seek not to know" (God of dreams, The Indian Queen, 1695).
The God of dreams ("The Indian Queen" Z630) is an allegorical and ethereal character. He incarnates the mystery, power and knowledge that humans cannot preserve. At the same time, he does not say much, he does not speak
clearly, it is almost like an imaginary being within the same imaginary story. I believe it is a personification of destiny, of good or bad fortune; it is the representation of what we will never know and that we indefatigably seek to know. This brief aria somehow establishes a significant link with Purcell's masterpiece ("Dido & Aeneas") and, at the same time, serves as a prelude to the Cantata "La mort de Didon" by M. P. de Montéclair (1667-1737).
