Va, pensiero … also known as the "Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves", is a chorus from the opera Nabucco by Giuseppe Verdi. It recollects the period of Babylonian captivity after the loss of the First Temple in Jerusalem in 586 BCE. When Verdi died, over 300, 000 people gathered in the streets of Milan and began to sing Va, pensiero. I cry whenever I hear this aria…it’s so beautiful.
