I just got a call from a funeral director asking me to
sing at a funeral on Friday. My very first funeral gig
(and my first paying gig)! I'm very excited...
Anyway, he said the family didn't really know what
song they wanted. They requested something
non-religious, he thought perhaps more contemporary,
but wasn't really sure. They're a Chinese family, but
I don't know any Chinese opera and don't think I can
learn it in less than two days! Apparently he
suggested to them something from Madama Butterfly, but
when I told him I knew an aria from that opera he said
he was joking (I also pointed out that Madama
Butterfly was Japanese :o). So I'm looking for
suggestions. I told him I'd get back to him later this
afternoon with some choices he could take to the
family.
I'm a full lyric soprano with a fair amount of
flexibility (although definitely not a coloratura). I
can sing some contemporary stuff, but pop is not what
I sound the best doing.
Thanks,
Jennifer
