He is looking for thee. 'Tis vain my lord-devil, thou hadst better use the time to swathe thy feet in asbestos-flax." The music of the passacaglia floated up and Katherine drank in its minor sweetness. Presently the dance changed into the chaconne with its prominent bass theme, again turning to the poetic and stately sarabande.
But if he could not understand the music, he could read books about it; he read a whole library criticism of music, analysis of music, histories of music, composers of music; and so gradually he learned the difference between a sarabande and a symphony, and began to get some idea of what he went out for to hear.
Round a sunny fountain, the source of the stream, just below the terrace of the Count's mansion, they thronged together more densely, surrounding the music of the water with the steps of a slow sarabande, or pausing at the edge of the pool to admire their own reflection. Count Saito showed Geoffrey where the roses were coming on, new varieties of which he had brought from England with him.
One of these, a Sarabande, was afterwards worked up into the famous air, 'Lascia ch' io pianga, in 'Rinaldo. When the new Hamburg Opera-House was opened in 1874, it was inaugurated by a performance of 'Almira, which gave musicians a unique opportunity of realising to some extent what opera was like at the beginning of the eighteenth century.
