Sparafucile
Okay, I’m busy, busy, busy. Wife has events, I’m watching both kids as Little One is home sick with an infection of some sorts. Have a job interview lined up for tomorrow. I’m finally relaxing, throwing a CD on I haven’t listened to in a while, and inspiration hits.
Not much of a Verdi fan, but I like Rigoletto, in particular the “Sparafucile” aria (if you call the bass’s solo an aria). Found this on youtube, to give you an idea. Listen to it; the best way I can describe it is if Verdi custom-wrote this to be performed by John Entwistle of The Who.
