A very prayerful reaction 🙏! I see 👁👁 that you have reacted to Luciano Pavarotti before: Nessun Dorma and It's A Man's Man's Man's World. This performance is from 1994 in Los Angeles, California, during a concert with The Three Tenors: José Carreras, Plácido Domingo, and Luciano Pavarotti, who are joined by conductor Zubin Mehta, the LA Philharmonic, and the LA Music Center Opera Chorus. Ellens Dritter Gesang aka Ave Maria ("Ellens Gesang III", D. 839, Op. 52, No. 6, 1825), in English: "Ellen's Third Song", was composed by Franz Schubert in 1825 as part of his Opus 52, a setting of seven songs from Walter Scott's 1810 popular narrative poem The Lady Of The Lake, loosely translated into German. It is one of Franz Schubert's most popular works. Beyond the song as originally composed by Franz Schubert, it's often performed and recorded by many singers under the title: "Ave Maria", the Latin name of the prayer Hail Mary, and also the opening words and refrain of the song: "Ellens Dritter Gesang", a song which is itself a prayer to the Virgin Mary, in musically simplified arrangements and with various lyrics that commonly differ from the original context of the poem. It was arranged in three versions for piano by Franz Liszt. The Latin version of the song: "Ave Maria", is now so frequently used with Franz Schubert's melody that it has led to the misconception that he originally wrote the melody as a setting for the "Ave Maria" prayer. In 1825, Schubert composed a selection of seven songs from Scott's The Lady of the Lake. They were published in 1826 as his Opus 52. The songs are not intended for a single performer: the three songs of Ellen are for a woman's voice with piano accompaniment, while the songs for Norman and Malcolm Graeme were intended for the baritone Johann Michael Vogl. Of the remaining two songs, one was for a male ensemble and the other for a female ensemble. "Ellens Gesang I", D. 837, Raste Krieger, Krieg ist aus / "Soldier rest! the warfare o'er" "Ellens Gesang II", D. 838, Jäger, ruhe von der Jagd / "Huntsman, rest! thy chase is done" "Bootgesang" (Hail to the Chief), D. 835, Triumph, er naht / "who in triumph approaches", for male voice quartet "Coronach" (Deathsong of the women and girls), D. 836, Er ist uns geschieden / "He is gone to the mountain", for female choir "Normans Gesang", D. 846, Die Nacht bricht bald herein ("Night will soon be falling") "Ellens Gesang III" (Hymne an die Jungfrau / Hymn to the Virgin), D. 839, Ave Maria! Jungfrau mild / "Ave Maria! maiden mild!" "Lied des gefangenen Jägers", D. 843, Mein Roß so müd / "My steed is tired" Franz Schubert composed the songs to the German texts.

He passed away on September 6, 2007 in Modena, Italy. He was an Italian operatic tenor who during the late part of his career crossed over into Popular music, eventually becoming one of the most acclaimed tenors of all time. He made numerous recordings of complete operas and individual arias, gaining worldwide fame for his tone, and gaining the nickname "King Of The High Cs". He was also a National Patron of Delta Omicron, an international professional music fraternity. As one of the Three Tenors, who performed their first concert during the 1990 FIFA World Cup before a global audience, Luciano Pavarotti became well known for his televised concerts and media appearances. From the beginning of his professional career as a tenor in 1961 in Italy to his final performance of "Nessun Dorma" at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Luciano Pavarotti was at his best in bel canto operas, pre-Aida Verdi roles, and Puccini works such as La bohème, Tosca, Turandot and Madama Butterfly. He sold over 100 million records, and the first Three Tenors recording became the best-selling classical album of all time. Luciano Pavarotti was also noted for his charity work on behalf of refugees and the Red Cross, amongst others. He was appointed a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic in 1988, and he passed away from pancreatic cancer on September 6, 2007. His earliest musical influences were his father's records, most of them featuring the popular tenors of the day: Beniamino Gigli, Giovanni Martinelli, Tito Schipa, and Enrico Caruso. His favourite tenor and idol was Giuseppe Di Stefano and he was also deeply influenced by Mario Lanza, saying: "In my teens I used to go to Mario Lanza movies and then come home and imitate him in the mirror". At around the age of nine, he began singing with his father in a small local church choir. In addition to music, as a child, Luciano Pavarotti enjoyed playing soccer. When he graduated from the Scuola Magistrale he was interested in pursuing a career as a professional football goalkeeper, but his mother convinced him to train as a teacher. After abandoning the dream of becoming a soccer goalkeeper, Luciano Pavarotti spent seven years in vocal training. He also taught in an elementary school for two years but finally decided to pursue a music career full time. His father, recognizing the risk involved, only reluctantly gave his consent. Luciano Pavarotti began the serious study of music in 1954 at the age of 19 with Arrigo Pola, a respected teacher and professional tenor in Modena, Italy who offered to teach him without remuneration. According to conductor Richard Bonynge, Luciano Pavarotti never learned to read music. In 1955, he experienced his first singing success when he was a member of the Corale Rossini, a male voice choir from Modena, Italy that also included his father, which won first prize at the International Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales. He later said that this was the most important experience of his life, and that it inspired him to become a professional singer. At about this time Luciano Pavarotti first met Adua Veroni. They married in 1961. When his teacher Arrigo Pola moved to Japan, Luciano Pavarotti became a student of Ettore Campogalliani, who at that time was also teaching Luciano Pavarotti's childhood friend: Mirella Freni, whose mother worked with his mother in the cigar factory. Like Luciano Pavarotti, Mirella Freni went on to become a successful opera singer; they would go on to collaborate in various stage performances and recordings together. During his years of musical study, Luciano Pavarotti held part-time jobs in order to sustain himself-first as an elementary school teacher and then as an insurance salesman. The first six years of study resulted in only a few recitals, all in small towns and without pay. When a nodule developed on his vocal cords, causing a "disastrous" concert in Ferrara, he decided to give up singing. Luciano Pavarotti attributed his immediate improvement to the psychological release connected with this decision. Whatever the reason, the nodule not only disappeared but, as he related in his autobiography: "Everything I had learned came together with my natural voice to make the sound I had been struggling so hard to achieve". He won the international competition at the Teatro Reggio Emilia in 1961, making his operatic debut there as "Rodolfo" in La Boheme on April 29. He made his international debut in 1963, when he stepped in for tenor Giuseppe Di Stefano in the role of Rodolfo at the Royal Opera House in London. Luciano Pavarotti then took part in the La Scala Tour of Europe (1963-64). His American debut in February 1965, in the Miami production of Donizetti's Lucia di Lammermoor, also launched his legendary partnership with Australian soprano Joan Sutherland. It was with Joan Sutherland that Luciano Pavarotti took London's Covent Garden and the New York Metropolitan Opera by storm in 1972 with a sparkling production of a Donizetti favorite, La Fille du Regiment. ****CONTINUE BELOW****
Luciano Pavarotti's voice and performance were very much in the powerful style of the traditional Italian tenor. He quickly became internationally known as a concert performer, achieving a large following due to his many recordings and television appearances. His most notable operatic roles included the Duke in Giuseppe Verdi’s Rigoletto (1851), Tonio in Gaetano Donizetti’s La Fille du régiment (1840; a part remarkable for its demanding sequence of high Cs), Arturo in Vincenzo Bellini’s I puritani (1835), and Radamès in Verdi’s Aida (1871), all of which are available as sound recordings. Luciano Pavarotti's participation in the Three Tenors with Placido Domingo and Jose Carreras was hugely successful, and has been credited with bringing classical music to the masses at a level never seen previously. Luciano Pavarotti annually hosted the Pavarotti & Friends charity concerts in his home town of Modena Italy, joining with singers from all parts of the music industry, including BB King, Andrea Bocelli, Zucchero, Jon Bon Jovi, Bryan Adams, Bono, James Brown, Mariah Carey, Eric Clapton, Dolores O'Riordan, Sheryl Crow, Céline Dion, Anastacia, Elton John, Deep Purple, Meat Loaf, Queen, George Michael, Tracy Chapman, The Spice Girls, Sting and Barry White to raise money for several UN causes. Concerts were held for War Child, and victims of war and civil unrest in Bosnia, Guatemala, Kosovo and Iraq. After the war in Bosnia, he financed and established the Pavarotti Music Centre in the southern city of Mostar to offer Bosnia's artists the opportunity to develop their skills. For these contributions, the city of Sarajevo named him an honorary citizen in 2006. Luciano Pavarotti began his farewell tour in 2004, at the age of 69, performing one last time in old and new locations, after more than four decades on the stage. On March 13, 2004, he gave his last performance in an opera at the New York Metropolitan Opera. On February 10, 2006, Luciano Pavarotti performed "Nessun Dorma" at the 2006 Winter Olympics opening ceremony in Turin, Italy, at his final live performance. Luciano Pavarotti Passing 🙏: While proceeding with an international "farewell tour", Luciano Pavarotti was diagnosed with pancreatic cancer in July 2006. The tenor fought back against the implications of this diagnosis, undergoing major abdominal surgery and making plans for the resumption and conclusion of his singing commitments, but he passed away at his home in Modena, Italy on September 6, 2007. After his passing, his manager, Terri Robson, noted in a statement: "The Maestro fought a long, tough battle against the pancreatic cancer which eventually took his life. In fitting with the approach that characterised his life and work, he remained positive until finally succumbing to the last stages of his illness". Luciano Pavarotti's funeral was held at Modena Cathedral. The funeral, in its entirety, was also telecast live on CNN. The Vienna State Opera and the Salzburg Festival Hall flew black flags in mourning. Tributes were published by many opera houses, such as London's Royal Opera House. The then Prime Minister Romano Prodi and Kofi Annan attended. The Frecce Tricolori, the aerobatic demonstration team of the Italian Air Force, flew overhead, leaving green-white-red smoke trails. After a funeral procession through the centre of Modena, Luciano Pavarotti's coffin was taken the final 6 miles to Montale Rangone, a village part of Castelnuovo Rangone, and was he was laid to rest in the Pavarotti family crypt.

Luciano Pavarotti Info 📰:
Luciano Pavarotti was born on October 12, 1935 in Modena, Italy. He passed away on September 6, 2007 in Modena, Italy. He was an Italian operatic tenor who during the late part of his career crossed over into Popular music, eventually becoming one of the most acclaimed tenors of all time. He made numerous recordings of complete operas and individual arias, gaining worldwide fame for his tone, and gaining the nickname "King Of The High Cs". He was also a National Patron of Delta Omicron, an international professional music fraternity.
As one of the Three Tenors, who performed their first concert during the 1990 FIFA World Cup before a global audience, Luciano Pavarotti became well known for his televised concerts and media appearances. From the beginning of his professional career as a tenor in 1961 in Italy to his final performance of "Nessun Dorma" at the 2006 Winter Olympics in Turin, Luciano Pavarotti was at his best in bel canto operas, pre-Aida Verdi roles, and Puccini works such as La bohème, Tosca, Turandot and Madama Butterfly. He sold over 100 million records, and the first Three Tenors recording became the best-selling classical album of all time. Luciano Pavarotti was also noted for his charity work on behalf of refugees and the Red Cross, amongst others. He was appointed a Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Merit of the Italian Republic in 1988, and he passed away from pancreatic cancer on September 6, 2007.
His earliest musical influences were his father's records, most of them featuring the popular tenors of the day: Beniamino Gigli, Giovanni Martinelli, Tito Schipa, and Enrico Caruso. His favourite tenor and idol was Giuseppe Di Stefano and he was also deeply influenced by Mario Lanza, saying: "In my teens I used to go to Mario Lanza movies and then come home and imitate him in the mirror". At around the age of nine, he began singing with his father in a small local church choir.
In addition to music, as a child, Luciano Pavarotti enjoyed playing soccer. When he graduated from the Scuola Magistrale he was interested in pursuing a career as a professional football goalkeeper, but his mother convinced him to train as a teacher. After abandoning the dream of becoming a soccer goalkeeper, Luciano Pavarotti spent seven years in vocal training. He also taught in an elementary school for two years but finally decided to pursue a music career full time. His father, recognizing the risk involved, only reluctantly gave his consent. Luciano Pavarotti began the serious study of music in 1954 at the age of 19 with Arrigo Pola, a respected teacher and professional tenor in Modena, Italy who offered to teach him without remuneration. According to conductor Richard Bonynge, Luciano Pavarotti never learned to read music.
In 1955, he experienced his first singing success when he was a member of the Corale Rossini, a male voice choir from Modena, Italy that also included his father, which won first prize at the International Eisteddfod in Llangollen, Wales.

They married in 1961. When his teacher Arrigo Pola moved to Japan, Luciano Pavarotti became a student of Ettore Campogalliani, who at that time was also teaching Luciano Pavarotti's childhood friend: Mirella Freni, whose mother worked with his mother in the cigar factory. Like Luciano Pavarotti, Mirella Freni went on to become a successful opera singer; they would go on to collaborate in various stage performances and recordings together.
During his years of musical study, Luciano Pavarotti held part-time jobs in order to sustain himself-first as an elementary school teacher and then as an insurance salesman. The first six years of study resulted in only a few recitals, all in small towns and without pay. When a nodule developed on his vocal cords, causing a "disastrous" concert in Ferrara, he decided to give up singing. Luciano Pavarotti attributed his immediate improvement to the psychological release connected with this decision. Whatever the reason, the nodule not only disappeared but, as he related in his autobiography: "Everything I had learned came together with my natural voice to make the sound I had been struggling so hard to achieve".
He won the international competition at the Teatro Reggio Emilia in 1961, making his operatic debut there as "Rodolfo" in La Boheme on April 29. He made his international debut in 1963, when he stepped in for tenor Giuseppe Di Stefano in the role of Rodolfo at the Royal Opera House in London.
