Dear Vocalisters
My singing teacher yesterday surprised me with "John, I am not trying to get rid of you, but I think you should consider applying to the London Guild Hall of Music postgraduate vocal studies".
This is an exciting proposition for me since I have not been singing classical repertoire for too many months. My repertoire is limited to Caro Mio Ben, a few english folk songs, and several Vaccaj vocalises.
So, my mission, should I choose to accept it, is to decide on 3 contrasting songs in 3 languages to perform at audition in early December. My teacher has suggested I research anything I can find including; Faure, English folk songs, 'Italian songs', Handel - Messiah, Aaron Copland, Barber.
Fach: Baritone Preferred languanges: English, Italian, German
I am hurriedly gathering ideas, but since I am embarking on this in the 11th hour I would very much appreciate any advice.
John
