Dear Susi,
There are some beautiful songs published by Transcontinental Music
Publications that are perfect for a Bar Mitzvah and good for a light soprano.
Two that come immediately to mind are Light of Torah by Cantor Rachelle
Nelson (written with a choir part, but easy to sing as a solo) and B'ni by
Michael Isaacson, which translates as "My son" but would be fine for a sister
as a representative of the family. Does she want to sing in Hebrew or
English? Will she have an accompanist? A good one or a band? These are
important questions.
Transcontinental can be found on the web at: http://www.uahc.org/transmp/
>From that site you can also e-mail the publisher to ask for other
suggestions.
Hope that helps. Feel free to e-mail me personally with other Jewish music
questions.
