The Hermit Songs by Samuel Barber. At one point I was thinking of doing a St. Patrick's Day recital using songs on Irish texts, but I couldn't really find enough for a whole program. These songs were going to be the first half. If some of the songs are too heavy for your voice, you should certainly be able to extract two or three.

Dear Vocalisters,
I am a light, high soprano and I'm planning a recital on March 17. I'd like to do something that acknowledges St. Patrick's Day, but want to do so in a non-cliche way. (In other words, what I'm looking for is *not* simple folk-song arrangements or the like.) I'm an excellent musician and would welcome in particular some quirky, difficult repertoire that relates, by poet, composer or theme, to Ireland.
Any ideas?
