Giacomo Puccini - Le Villi (1884) Prelude and Intermezzi

Giacomo Puccini (22 December 1858 – 29 November 1924) was an Italian composer known primarily for his operas. Regarded as the greatest and most successful proponent of Italian opera after Verdi, he was descended from a long line of composers, stemming from the late-Baroque era. Though his early work was firmly rooted in traditional late-19th-century Romantic Italian opera he later developed his work in the realistic verismo style, of which he became one of the leading exponents.

Can anyone give me some advice for writing my piece? I'm writing my own variation for solo piano on the famous song "The Lord's Prayer" where the melody develops in the style of dramatic Italian opera arias by Verdi, Mascagni and Puccini.  I've been listrning to a lot of late Romantic/early 20th century music and, compared to those pieces, the original melody sounds like Schubert or Fauré's songs.
