    She waited and waited as her heart broke. At that point she became nobody and so did her child. The repercussions of foreign liaisons in that time. Its so sad when the little boy falss asleep on her lap. She has such hope.

      It would make us cry because.....
      First of all, ever heard of Baby Genius?
      In the Mozart and Friends Sleepytime ending scene that has the Humming Chorus, this is also the last Baby Genius video to have Sasha, Harrison and their friends involved with the transitions between the beginning and end of each piece heard in Baby Genius videos. It makes me cry because the Sasha and Harrison Baby Genius videos are my favorite.

    Puccini seems to have based his melody here on the passage from Wagner's Das Rhinegold after Froh creates the rainbow bridge to Valhalla when he sings "Zur Burg führt..." Also, Prokofiev used that opening passage for woodwinds in his score for Romeo and Juliet.....you hear it at the start of the balcony scene.

      @@zebulon9307 Wagner is my favorite composer, but Cavalaria Rusticana is my favorite opera. No one has ever talked about it (that I know of) but I've always been convinced Mascagni was inspired by Wagner's Tannhäuser for Cavalaria, not merely in it's Catholic themes, but musically - Wagner's music in the Venusberg no doubt that inspired Mascagni for the motifs associated with Easter in Cavelaria Rusticana (heard in the famous Intermezzo), which I believe is based on the melody sung by the chorus of Sirens when they sing "Naht euch dem Strande! Naht euch dem Lande, wo in den Armen..."

      Well not explicitly, Puccini’s work here was certainly the draw for Les Mis and this was a way the composers of Les Mis paid tribute to an outstanding composer. If Puccini were alive or if he had not been dead for 75 years, this would be copyright. But his work is in the public domain

And the Puccini estate could have still gone after Schönburg and Boubill just like they went after Andrew Lloyd Webber for stealing Quello che tacete for Music of the Night. I still don’t know why they didn’t - it’s pretty blatant.
