I am looking for any information I can get about Elegies, particularly casting information and song information.

I'm also looking for all the male Finn songs I can find. He seems like an excellent contemperary composer that isn't super overdone. However, I don't know enough of his stuff. If anybody has a list of good songs with their ranges and information about tempo and style.

Thank you for the information!

Elegies Sheet music has been in demand FOREVER...but nobody seems to find it...except for Debbie Gibson (ouch).

However there are some really good male songs in A New Brain:

Id Rather Be Sailing is a great ballad which goes up to a G I believe.

And There Off is more up tempo, with some good comedy. I believe that is up to a G too, but it stays up there for a while.

I hope that helps...
