Giacomo Puccini (1858-1924): O mio babbino caro ("O, My Beloved Father")
From "Gianni Schicchi" (1918)
This is an instrumental version of Puccini's aria, arranged for a trio of mandolin, octave mandolin and guitar. This is an old arrangement from the repertoire folder of our ensemble (before I joined) -- I'm not sure who arranged it, but probably Tony Judge. Transposed a half step down from Ab major to G major to sit better on mandolin.
