Question:

Song Selection for Audition?

I'm looking for some songs that I can possibly sing for my Senior Choir Audtion in March. I'm currently a Junior, and I'm currently singing Alto in a SATB choir. My range is appx. F3 - F5.

I'm planning on auditioning for the Senior Choir in March. I need:

Two songs for open audition (by different artists)(March 15)
One song for first callback (March 30)
One song for second callback (April 14)

So, basically I need four songs. One song that I was considering using would be 'Children Will Listen', from Sondheim's Into The Woods (Sung most notably by Bernadette Peters, starting in 1988).

I used 'Children' as my solo piece for our winter concert in December.

If anyone has any suggestions, I'd really appreciate it!

Thanks!

Cheers,

Rosefern

Thanks for all your help! I'll probably choose at least one Sondheim song (for the first audition), and possibly another for the callback.

I'm thinking about 'No One Is Alone', I have the recording of Bernadette Peters singing it at Carnegie Hall. I'm fairly good at singing her material, and I do like the song. I probably won't sing 'Children Will Listen' again.

In response to the question about the pianist, I'll be working with the same pianist (a very close friend) that played Children for me, he's very talented with Sondheim, and R&H.

Thanks!
