my audition for the chorus that will sing the lotr symphony is next week. and i can't figure out what to sing. hmph. i used to always sing the willow aria from the ballad of baby doe for auditions but i don't think that's a good idea. because it doesn't show me off as a choral singer so much. it's in english, the tune is simple, i use about as much vibrato as i have... the only thing that works to my advantage (chorally) is that it has a high d and thus shows off the range.

so, what to sing? something from messiah? probably overdone but at least the accompanist would know it. annelarissa! help!
