If your daughter's a good musician, and likes contemporary stuff that's accessible, I recommend the Jake Heggie song cycle, "Paper Wings," which has text by Frederica von Stade. I have a student working on it right now for a recital she's giving at school as independent study project. The 1st, 2nd and 4th songs are excerptable and very lovely. It's in his collection, "Faces of Love," volume 2.
