In Henry Purcell's "When I Am Laid in Earth," also known as Dido's Lament from the Opera "Dido and Aeneas," the primary instruments include the strings (violins, violas, cellos), continuo (often played by harpsichord and bass instruments), and occasionally woodwinds. The string section plays a crucial role in creating the mournful atmosphere, while the continuo provides harmonic support. The overall instrumentation contributes to the emotional depth and poignancy of Dido's lament.
