Description: A transcription of the opening chorus from Lully's opera "Isis." Modelled closely on a source from the IMSLP, but transcribed for modern string notation with keyboard reduction. The text should be sung in such a way that the vowels are re-articulated for repeated eighth notes, resembling stuttering from extreme cold. Original orchestration would include string ensemble, harpsichord (basso continuo), and soft wind instruments.
