Acting in Plays, Singing/NATS competition song

Advertisement


Question
I'm preparing for a NATS competition in their musical theatre division. One of the songs needs to be upbeat. I am a high soprano. The other song I'm doing is "Til There Was You" and I'd like a good contrast. I'm considering "Poor Wandering One" but wondered if it's not upbeat enough. Any suggestions?

Answer
Hey there, Rebecca...And thanks for writing.

How much faster is Poor Wondering One from Til There Was You?  Is there an obvious difference in tempo?  If so, it's probably a good choice.  Tap your foot to each and see if there is.

Does that help?
