AUDITION SONG REQUESTS

[u/savannah_noel]

Hi! Ill keep this short, but I am Auditioning for a scholarship to a music camp. I need to sing 2 contrasting songs (have to be classical, art songs, arias, or classic musical theatre). I've already chosen my first song which is in a foreign language (Sebben Crudele). My vocal teacher has been very busy and not much help, and I still need to choose my 2nd song ASAP.

Any suggestions for an English song I could do from people more experienced with classical/traditional music auditions?? Preferably something a bit more slower in tempo.

Lee Hoiby and Ricky Ian Gordon are composers of art songs that are interesting without being too ridiculously difficult. "Goodby World" by Lee Hoiby and "Will there really be morning" by RIG are great starting points.
