Well I guess the absence of your fellow alto would be weird here Catherine! I am so running behind the times here. Since you appear to be a much more trained singer than I, what Kate suggests is true, any song really is yours to sing. If you ow your key, which I don't, you can sing any song girl! If you wanted to find songs that have been done specifically in alto, then rather than look to the songs, I would look to the singers. Not that you want to sing it in their way, but at least for me it gives this untrained ear and voice a starting ground. Might I suggest, Nina Simone, Della Reese (before the skunk hair), Phoebe Snow, so long as you don't try to climb every mountain she does, and Diana Krall. I am looking mostly at jazzier people here, since you appear to be in search of standards or the like.
Hey and if you're planning this for fest let's put our heads & maybe our voices together, as I am planning a jazzier set this year. In fact it may be all jazz. Peace, Susan just caught a glimpse of my own skunk hair - time for the grecian formula! --- Kate Bennett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > i've never really sung with an accompianist...but can't you ask her/him to > change the key for you?...that way you can sing whatever you want in a key > that is right for your voice... > > ******************************************** > Kate Bennett: www.katebennett.com > Sponsored by Polysonics/Atlantis Sound Labs > Over the Moon- > "bringing the melancholy world of twilight > to life almost like magic" All Music Guide > ************************************ Yahoo!
