- ... pallet the voice provides. The same singer can sound sultry and sexy one minute, cold and machine-like the next, then change to a trumpet, and morph again to a soft harmonic background "ooooh."

More staccato work from strings leads to a rather fat sounding appoggiated dotted minim passage for oboe and ...
