James Gandolfini, 51, American actor (The Sopranos, Where the Wild Things Are, Zero Dark Thirty), suspected heart attack.That he acted in the Sopranos stands out given that it too is on the upper end of the "Opposites" pattern-cluster spectrum, note the etymology:
soprano (n.) 1730, "the highest singing voice," from Italian soprano "the treble in music," literally "high," from sopra "above," from Latin supra, fem. ablative singular of super (see super-)One other movie that James acted in is not mentioned in the above Deaths in 2013 sites excerpt, note the following from his wiki page:
enforcer/stuntman Bear in Get Shorty,"Get Shorty" falls into the lower end of the "Opposites" pattern-cluster spectrum. I take the cryptic communication to be "get shorty soprano". So off to Wiki to find a "short soprano"... which I did, note this excerpt from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boy_soprano:
Ernest Lough was 16 when he recorded his famous "Hear My Prayer"Note the following from Lough's wiki page:
on 15 March 1927, the Gramophone Company brought its new mobile recording unit to the Temple Church where the choir recorded Mendelssohn's Hear My Prayer, in which the famous solo O for the Wings of a Dove was sung by Ernest Lough, then aged 15. It is said that Lough had to stand on two large books in order to be near enough to the microphone.He had to stand on tou books in order to sing, now THAT'S a short soprano!! As to the song he sang:

The text (derived from Psalm 55):
Hear my prayer, O God, incline Thine ear! |
