a song for a show?

Question

I sing opera and classical, I have a voice teacher, and I'm in this play, we're writing a script and performing at a theatre later in the year, since I sing and have a good voice they want me too sing something, are there any songs I could download that are about growing up, getting older, time ticking by, life moving on, getting older, being a teen, being a child, being an adult, somehting very beautiful.. Something you think would fit our show... Our show's title is 'Tick', any ideas?????

Thanks! By the way I'm a soprano.

Answer 1

* "Memories" from Cats/Andrew Lloyd Webber requires a strong operatic theatrical voice.

* If you can sing a duet, there's a cute song from Li'l Abner
where Daisy Mae is fretting about the problems with being "Past Your Prime." But it is sung in a hilly billy dialect, not opera or classical.

* "16 going on 17" from the Sound of Music is a classic, and very upbeat and cute.

Answer 2

Actualy, my background,as has always been, in nthe range of Gamelans, Kecapi, Suling, Calung, Angklung, wich ye know originating from the Java Island, not that Far from where you are now() :- but somehow I'd pick yer quest for your 'song', which I'd hope and pray, or prey if I had to, so that your quest would be completed. Diatonal sound are so 'differs' to what I'd use to hears, as you migh've had the opportunity to detune or disharmonize,which happen to be hard to got back to its original tone, I had to admit. Too many dislogical acts inbetween, I'd confess, nor confersion nor tranformation could've held anything more,propaganda kind of situations, too many thing to obliviate or even tresspassed, Or even Scam and Spam.
Anyways, happy applying for 'Originality' homestead,instead, I'd
bet.

Answer 3

I assume from the title "TIck" and the references to different ages that the play is somehow about time. If showtunes work, look into "Not a Day Goes By" (from Merrily We Roll Along, Sondheim).

Answer 4

Try to Remember from the The Fantastiks is a classic. Also, Getting Tall, from the show NINE is a darling number. Have fun!
