Subject: RE: Lyr Req: Victorian songs required
The term "Victorian" certainly covers a multitude of sins (literally, in many cases) so before suggesting anything I'll ask: Victorians where? UK? Empire? USA? What aspects? politics or day-to-day life? Would your daughter prefer dramatic or sentimental songs? Murder ballads or comic stage songs?  Remember that Gilbert & Sullivan and Stephen C. Foster belonged to the Victorian era, which lasted quite a long time.  It's a huge field.
