I am queen of transposition :o). For funerals, where
most people wouldn't know or care what key you're
doing it in, I have no qualms about transposing almost
anything. The song Karen suggested, How could I know?,
sits a little low for me (although I can do it in the
original key it sounds better higher in my voice) so
I've already hiked it up, even though it's from a
musical. The only music I'd really hesitate to
transpose are opera arias.
Thanks to everyone for your suggestions and
encouragement. I'm still waiting to hear back from the
funeral director, although the organist has told me he
probably won't care what I sing.
Here's another question, since I'm new at this. Should
I expect to be paid at the funeral? Or do funeral
homes usually send a cheque later? Perhaps I should
ask? The business end of performing is much harder
than I anticipated...
