One that I often think of is the Dirge from Cymbeline..Fear no more the heat of the sun...
As an eleven year old child I was really moved by it, and if anyone can suggest a good recording of it I'd be grateful.
Thanks for the question.

50 years ago I sang in the Cirencester Parish Church choir. I don't remember what we sang, I was doing it for the money. Sixpence as far as I remember.

I don't remember any of the songs we sang with the choir - but I do remember the Gilbert & Sullivan Operas I was in - Trial by Jury and The Mikado (both in the chorus) and I was going to have a lead part in HMS Pinefore but left school early, so didn't get to do it.

The only song I can remember is "The Minstrel Boy". I can't remember anything about the arrangement, or whether I sang the melody or a harmony line.

After 38 years I've managed to track down a CD copy of 'Hiawatha's Wedding Feast' which I sang (Soprano!) in the school choir and was curious to hear again - OK it's not folk but there wasn't much of that around the music rooms of a Liverpool Grammar school back then.

Anyone else sing (or play) anything they'd like to hear again from all those years ago ?
