A song that fits - Green Finch and Linnet Bird


A song that appears to fit the checklist above nearly perfectly is “Green Finch and Linnet Bird” from Sweeney Todd. It is a tough song to sing, but then so are the songs written by Cole Porter. Still, only attempt it if you know you’re good enough to pull it off. “Green Finch and Linnet Bird” is played slow, but not too slow and with a slightly flexible beat. It has a range from (C4 – G5) which is quite matched to what Hope Harcourt must sing.

Keep in mind the movie version of the song is not the same as the one from the musical version.
