A prayer- Rachmaninoff

C4- A5

E4- G5

VERY dramatic in poetry and

dynamic and vocal range. Full

connection to set. Doesnt sit in

C4- G5

E4- E5

sound which will help singer to not

Very funny and playful song. Shows 1:00

off singers full range and acting
skills. (even a short monologue!)

Im a Person Too- Bernstein

C4-A5

F4- E5

End of a set makes a good

definitive end to recital. Completely
shows off singers voice, and singer
should no longer be worried about
stamina because this is the last
song. Singer can let loose and
show the audience what theyve
accomplished in undergrad.
