I don't know if I'd classify Meadow Lark as a Soprano song--more of a Mezzo/Belter kind of thing. I was going to say definitely JRB's Christmas Lullaby as well. I also love Whats the Use of Wonderin' from Carousel. Lovely tunes.

Gotta love anything from "Songs for a New World" especially "Christmas Lullaby" and "Flagmaker, 1776". You should also take a look at Kristin's song from "Steel Pier" (Can't remember the name right now). Also, "You were meant for Me" from Audra's CD.

If they take all the things that define what you were and are . . . One more star!

Oooh, I love most of these songs! More favorites from my voice folder:

Mira-- Carnival (Yes, My Heart is also gorgeous)
I Remember-- Evening Primrose
I'd Rather Be Sailing-- A New Brain
Not a Day Goes By (Act One)-- Merrily We Roll Along
Moonfall-- The Mystery of Edwin Drood
Will He Like Me?-- She Loves Me
Soon-- A Little Night Music
I'll Know-- Guys and Dolls
Children of the Wind-- Rags

I'll admit-- I'll use tenor songs as well. Johanna (Sweeney Todd) and Maria (West Side Story) are my favorites, although I don't think I'd use them in an audition setting quite yet.
