Countertenor rep in French?
Hello Reddit! I am an advanced student/baby professional countertenor who is looking to gain confidence in singing in French, but I am having a hard time finding my way into the repertoire. Do you happen to have any recommendations of classical solo works that are:
- appropriate for a light alto voice
- exist in some sort of keyboard + voice edition
- equipped with a good English translation of the libretto
- about LITERALLY ANYTHING other than straight male love for beautiful and disempowered women, women desiring to be objectified by men, or nature as a metaphor for said heterosexual relationship dynamics. (Other themes such as class struggle, gay love, religious devotion, depression, death and aging, and nature not as a metaphor for straightness are all welcome!)
Things I have been exploring so far: Nadia Boulanger songs as recorded by Lucile Richardot :)
