Hi all, I got the assignment yesterday that for my Vocal Literature class I need to pick a song for class that would be an appriopriate encore of "set ender" that reflects my ethnic heritage. I have German, English, Irish and Welsh blood in me. My maternal grandmother's family is from Germany and her maiden name was Grimm. I know I'm stretching it, but there is a possibility that I'm somehow related to those famed Grimm brothers, though Grimm might be as common there as Smith is in the US. Now on to my question. I'd like to do a song on a Grimm fairy tale text. I could sing it in German or if any of the British Isle composers set one of those fairy tale texts, I'd love to know about it. Any suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks, Trevor
