Some suggestions for Legit Tenor:
"The street where you live" - sung by...
Eccard, Johannes: Missa a 5 vocibus (Carus-Verlag)

I'm not sure I agree with your inaccurate generalisations; it seems as if you're listening to the wrong English tenors. I don't think you can accuse any of the following gents of sounding less than...
A few more baroque aria suggestions - they all move, but while melismatic in parts, they do not require virtuosic fioratura - in Italian and French. If you decide on a German art song, and you choose...
"I have way more music but this is what i have picked out so far"
E' solita la storia ( Cilea)
This one is stunning if you can sing it well, but it is definiteoy more about emotion than it...
If it's just repertoire for vocal teaching, with piano - vs. arias he'd ever consider auditioning with to sing with full orchestra when his voice is fully developed - I'd forget all about "fach" and...
And, speaking of these great John Lennon songs - how about it?

You mean aside from the obvious choice - i.e., "Let the bright seraphim" from Handel's SAMSON?
Note that the baroque suggestions would all sound even better if you could also enlist a...
Hmmm - before doing an Ave Maria in a Lutheran church, I'd keep in mind that it's only Roman
Catholics who seem able to make the mental leap between "these two folks are getting married"
and the...
The most exquisite swan song-type songs ever written, IMO, are Richard Strauss's Vier letzte
Lieder, especially #3, "Beim Schlafengehen" - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PhdN1x4ke74 -
and #4, "Im...
More multi-song juxtapositions that spring to mind:
Leonard Bernstein: "A boy like that/I have a love" - from WEST SIDE STORY
(http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4oxfOncYiag)
Irving Berlin: "Play...
True wassail song (as in, sung at Christmas time) - how about any high-voiced
transposition of any decent wassail song? The downside being that most wassail
songs aren't interesting unless...
> Look at Sophie's little song about Christmas in Werther.
Also, Je veux vivre 0 Gounod
NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT the Gounod Juliette
aria! Juliette is a role comparable to...

Monckton:...
Handel and Mozart arias would be fine - but I'm wondering whether that

short, either.
I would still urge you to look into...
