Pavarotti was initiated as an honorary member of Phi Mu Alpha Sinfonia by the Beta Tau chapter in 1978.
As with AlphaFrog, he was never my favorite, but he did have a beautiful voice and he, like Beverly Sills, made opera more accessible to many who otherwise might not have been exposed to it.
May he rest in peace.
Oh, may I join the choir invisible
Of those immortal dead who live again
In minds made better by their presence....
-- George Eliot, The Choir Invisible
