Arias for countertenor?

Featured Replies

A couple weeks ago in my voice lessons my teacher discovered that can sing countertenor, which is kinda cool :). I am having trouble finding arias and songs for countertenor, it would be great if I could get some suggestions!? Thanks!

All the alto arias from Messiah are awesome! "O Thou that Tellest" is one of my favorites.

"Ombra mai fu" is occasionally sung by countertenors.

Arias from Britten's "A Midsummer Night's Dream" - since Oberon's a countertenor role.

I've heard "Voi che sapete" sung by a countertenor. It's pretty good that way.

My goodness there are a TON of countertenor pieces from Handel, Bach and other baroque era composers. I think in particular the Bach Cantata BWV 22 could be sung by countertenor.
