I'm a 21 year old baritone, also a Vocal Perf. major

Take a look at

Ned Rorem cycles...The're great

Ibert- Chansons de don Quichotte

Ravel- Don Quichotte a Dulcinee

Finzi- Let Us Garlands Bring

Quilter- 5 Shakespearean songs

Niles- Songs of Travel

Shumann- Dichterliebe

These are all awesome!

Later,
Trevor
