Drouet #8: Prayer of Forgiveness
I imagine a dramatic scene in an opera where a character is praying for forgiveness... I hear, "sins of our fathers" in the middle, with that repetitive motif that gets embellished (although that lyric doesn't work with the happier sounding triplets). I'm sorta picturing adding this scene in Rigoletto, begging to remove the curse.

Hope I get to play like that some day!

Wow what glorious tone you produce sir! Seriously. And as far as vibrato, to quote Galway, “It happens in the throat… no one can train their diaphragm to do that.”
