Lisa-
I was thinking of the Rorem before you got to that point in your
message. I had a girlfriend do them when I was at Indiana, They are
good, but very difficult and VERY high. You might look at his "Cycle
of Holy Songs."
FWIW, I like the Argento. There are several Argento sets that are
good for soprano. If you've got "Art of the Song Recital" then you
have great listings of cycles. One problem I have found with doing
all complete cycles/groups on a prgogram, however, is that you get
locked into it time wise. You can't add or subtract a few minutes
here or there. I think it's good to have a t least one or two groups
that are made up of individual songs.
