Does anyone know any good thrilling pop/rock songs for a lower range tenor? The song should be contemporary.

well, if you can get the sheet music, petrified from taboo is absolutely always thrilling to me, and it's not high until the end...

but i'm coming up short on other "thrilling pop/rock songs" at the moment.

All depends on your definition of thrilling, but "Where I Want to Be" is nice quick uptempo for bari-tenors from the musical "Chess". ALso if you can do "Anthem" from Chess well,(key word being well....definition of well=able to make the auditors look up abrupttly and actually LOOK at your credits) that can definitely be thrilling for a bari-tenor. WIth the exception of one audition, I have always gotten cast with that.

anthem is a great choice

alternatively, you should look to the scores of larson's rent and tick, tick...BOOM for some great lower tenor rock orientated songs

also, we will rock you has some good things, if you look into the songs that the kashoggi sings, although they're predominately bari-tenor-esque.


i had like three other songs to tell you about and i've COMPLETELY forgotten them...ah! they're gone from my memory

how frustrating
sorry
