Subject: [vocalist] Repertoire
Hi everyone,
I am in the process of putting together some material for a recital that I
hope to do within the first term or two of grad school. It will be called
"Hanging Gardens", and I am looking for music having specifically to do with
flowers and gardens.
I have gone through my Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, Faure, and Debussy in my
quest - does anyone have any suggestions of repertoire from other composers
that would fit this theme?
Thanks in advance - you are all always so helpful!
Have a wonderful day!
