A challenge to get 2 equals parts ..

G & s will often be sop/ mezzo..

What about loathiing, defying gravity etc from wicked?

You say tomato I say tomato could be 2 equal voices I guess ?

I know a bit more about the more serious choral stuff though- Caesar franck panis angelicus Or the stabat mater are amazing pieces - and my girls old think they were un but they are a bit strange like that lol

Do you want classical or musical theatre?

For Good from Wicked is a popular choice for GCSE ensemble at the moment and it is pitched around Grade 5 standard. It is a bit soppy though.

What is This Feeling again from Wicked, the vocal selections version misses out the chorus bit.

Dd and ds like to sing When I Grow Up from Matilda as a duet.
