Dear List,
Last night my 17 year old daughter won our local "Junior Miss" competition-she was also the overall talent winner, singing the first verse of the Schubert AVE MARIA, (most angelic, IMHO...) and wound up with $6,000+ in scholarships. To think I had to have a fight with her father to get him to agree to pay for voice lessons!!!!!!!
Now she advances to the state competition in January. The talent there can only last 90 seconds from start to finish. We need an aria or other classical/sacred piece, preferably Italian, could be French, that is appropriate for girl her age. 90 seconds is not a long time we have learned, and the song can be cut somewhat but we want to maintain the integrity of the music.
Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Leslie
