This is a set of variations is based on the third movement of Beethoven's Piano Sonata No. 30--a movement which is itself a set of variations. It can be appreciated on its own, but a familiarity with Beethoven’s sonata will greatly enhance one’s encounter with this work. 

The title comes from Beethoven's marking: "Gesangvoll, mit innigster Empfindung" [filled with song, with deepest expression].

Agnus Dei, by Samuel Barber

Yeah, I use autotune on this piece.  I can sing in the alto range that way, and it's fun to take on a new voice.  The mandolin-like sound is from a recording I made of strumming on a single piano string.

This track is not available anymore.
