The Big Number (aria)
The Understudy’s aria, in A minor. There is a very deep breath before the big note.
The second song in The Big Number and the reason for the show: the Understudy sings over a harp, at 84 beats a minute in three time. One bar is nothing but a breath, and then the big number itself, runs included. The key fits: the walnut hums in a minor key.
