Description
Description: In his sketches, Steiner includes an arrangement of Handel's aria "Lascia ch'io pianga," but it is never used in the film; since it is labeled "Transition #11" it would have occurred somewhere near here in the film; Steiner includes the text from a well-known English translation: "O Lord! correct me not in thine anger. Have mercy on me, and blot out all my sins"; this text fits well with Eddie's plight near the end of the film
Music annotations: [m. 1] Organ; [m. 4] organ; [m. 8] Fine; [m. 16] D. C. / O Lord! Correct Me / G. F. Handel
