Bass/Bari Audition Songs - 2008/03/01 19:37 Hi everyone, I'm auditioning for a production of Sweeney in a bit over a week (the same one as the "vocal beginner" thread), with a vague aim of either of the two Bass/Bari leads: Sweeney or Judge Turpin. I've been in choirs and musicals for years, always as a bass, but I always end up singing baritone for auditions because it just sounds better .

I was planning on singing St. James Infirmary Blues (middle E --> high E), which is basically Old Faithful, but I was thinking that I should perhaps look for a song to show off my lower range. Generally I would say I can get from a low E to a high G.

Can anyone recommend a song, based on what I've said?

Thanks in advance!
