Choir Audition Piece for Mezzo Soprano?

In a couple months I'm auditioning for my college's choir. It's VERY competitive (most likely only 3 or 4 girls will be added this upcoming year). Last year I didn't make it in, and I was told my sight reading was perfect which means the only thing that could have been improved was my solo.

I'm a mezzo soprano. The range I'm most comfortable singing in is middle c to high f. I'm also comfortable singing in a foreign language (especially Italian or Latin). I need a song that I can really nail to really impress my choir conductor. Any good suggestions that are appropriate for a younger soprano (I'm 19 btw) ???

    Hmmm..

    I think you should try

    "Se tu mami"

    "Tu lo sai"

    "Danza danza fanciulla gentile"

    In my opinion those are good songs.. Regardless in what you pick. I wish you the best of luck!

    It are not able to be depraved as the rights usually are not available (and probably not to be for really a couple of years but) - and in case your university is doing it unlicensed, you are going to be sued for a large amount of money. Anyway, that apart, listed below are some song ideas: - don't tell Mama from Cabaret - Cabaret from Cabaret - Steam warmness from The Pajama recreation - Broadway child from Follies - when you obtained It, Flaunt It from The Producers - whatever Goes from something Goes - simply one of those matters from Kiss Me Kate - one more Hundred people from organization steer clear of Hairspray, Les Mis, Phantom, Legally Blonde and wicked, as you'll be able to find most others will traditionally sing songs from those indicates.
