brother and sister vocal duet

January 5, 2006 10:22 AM

I'm looking for suggestions for a vocal duet for a brother and sister to sing for a high school alumni concert. Piano accompaniment or a cappella.

Preferably something contemporary, non-religious and appropriate for a high school. He is a bass and I can sing alto or soprano. A two part choral arrangement would work as well. Also a place to order the sheet music would be really helpful.

There's a musical called John and Jen, about a brother and sister. Perhaps look and see if there are any appropriate duets for your concert?

Whatever you do, DON"T do "Afternoon Delight."

Rufus and Martha Wainwright do a beautiful version of Loudon Wainwright's "One Man Guy".

"Almost Paradise" from the Footloose soundtrack.

Rickie Lee Jones' cover of the West Side Story song "One Hand, One Heart". Don't know who she is 'dueting' with, but it's a beautiful tune that would work well with just a piano (like Rickie does) or a cappella.
