Hi Lauri,
There is a book called 52 Sacred Songs ( you like to sing ). Perhaps you may
find some songs in that book.
Good luck

geeks out there--

For those of you who donıt know me, Iım a freelance pro in Southern
California, and I sing all kinds of things, all over. (We have to really
love our cars out here...)

Iım really looking for two types of things: 1) art songs with sacred texts,
suitable for recital situations (I use sacred here to mean spiritual, of any
religious background), and 2) sacred solos from the last fifty years in an
art song style (rather than popish contemporary), good for church or temple
services, or good for auditions.

Iım bored with my sacred solos, and I love modern compositional styles. I
have a few interesting (read strange/obscure) solos that work well in an
unusual recital format (e.g. Howells ³King David² and anything by Richard
Cummings), but Iıd love more.

Any ideas? I suspect thereıs lots out there, and Iım just having problems
thinking outside the usual boxes. Assume that Iım a fabulous musician with
a huge range (both are about 75% true), and that I can find anything, in
print or out (you never know!). Throw at me anything you can think of. Iıd
just love to hear what you love.

Thanks! I look forward to hearing from you!


Lauri
