Other than "This is the moment" what are some others?

"Being Alive" is pretty classic.

The very idea of 'tenor belting' sounds like terrorism, but maybe it is just me. Think Mandy Patinkin who belts everything.

How about "fortissimo"?

Would "Love Can't Happen" from GRAND HOTEL be appropriate for a tenor?

While the song itself isn't anything special, "What Do I Need with Love" from TMM is a pretty good showcase for a tenor.

"Martin Guerre" from Martin Guerre is a pretty belty/shouty song. Pointless but belty/shouty for a tenor nonetheless.

to fosca3:

Archibald Craven is a tenor. Dr. Neville Craven is more of a baritone.

In Praise of Women from A Little Night Music

"Anthem" and "Where I Want to Be" from CHESS.

[BkCollector]

Carl-Magnus is most definitely a baritone, 'In praise of Women" is NOT a tenor piece.

[WhizzerMarvin]

Posted: 4/30/08 at 2:17pm

Sorry, I guess I wasn't certain about Carl-Magnus' range. I'll amend my suggestion to favorite baritone belting number.
