There is a "mock" song by Purcell called "When First Amintas". Very
suggestive, very funny, and suitable for a high voice to sing. I've only
ever seen it in the complete works. but it is possible that it is available
in another form as well. If you're looking there anyway, you might want to
check out the rest of his "mock" songs as well (they are in the same volume
of the complete works, I believe).

Good luck!

Regards,

Vocalist,
I have just been scheduled to sing an all Baroque program with only
conintuo, on APRIL 1, next year!!!!

I once posted to the list for music specifically for high voice and
continuo, and have since then, been researching and trying out repertoire...

Now I am reposting - asking if any of you are aware of repertoire that is
humourous, or could fit under a "foolish" title (not so sure what kind of
title I can come up with here)... for such a recital.

Thanks very much!
