Looking for countertenor pieces

Hiya,

I’m sorta new to classical singing although I’ve been working in pop, specifically metal, for around ten years. I’ve started working with a new teacher to learn classical singing and since I got into that style via experimental music and my classical knowledge is rudimentary at best I’m looking for pieces I could learn.

My teacher told me to find something I like (obviously) but i don’t even know where to start 😅
I like anything sad, moody and atmospheric.
Bonus points if it’s non orchestral as I prefer piano and chamber music/string quartets over orchestra.

My range is around b1 - E4 if that helps

Thanks!

EDIT: it would appear notation systems are fucked lol so to clarify:
My range is more like b2 - E5, we got confused by wether we should call middle C C3 or C4
Also: neither my teacher nor myself calling myself a countertenor just yet. I asked her what kind of pieces I should look for because my classical knowledge is limited
Sorry for opening that can of worms 😅

Is an expensive soundhole cover worth it?

Hi all,
Im playing my nylon through two amps with a lot of effects so obviously I’m incredibly feedback prone on stage. I’ve got a cheap soundhole cover and it helped but am wondering if it’s worth it to invest more money into it because it obviously couldn’t fix the problem completely and I’d love to not have to be as careful with gain as I have to be now. Thanks!
