Though a truly versatile singer, Christopher has a natural bias towards French repertoire, which is most obvious in the orchestral song repertoire. So many French composers orchestrated some of their recital song repertoire that it is particularly fertile territory to explore. Here are some suggestions, along with a few songs from other traditions too.
