"Méditation" is a beautiful piece of music from the opera "Thaïs," composed by Jules Massenet in 1894. The aria is sung by the main character, Thaïs, a courtesan who has a spiritual awakening and converts to Christianity.
The violin melody represents the character of Thaïs, while the orchestra represents the world around her. The music gradually builds in intensity, as Thaïs becomes more and more conflicted about her new faith and her former way of life. "Méditation" has become a popular piece for violinists to perform as a solo, and it is often used in films (Titanic) and television shows to evoke a sense of beauty and melancholy.
