The Meditation is an orchestral interlude in the opera.  It falls
toward the end of Act II, Scene 1, and portrays Thais' thoughts as she
contemplates conversion.  I believe the theme is also picked up in Act III
as Thais is dying.  It's a lovely piece and very popular in the violin
repertoire.

Hope this helps,

Erika Millen
