They are after more traditional stuff such as "Cockles and Mussels".

What a great question - it quite made my day. I'm sure you'll get lots of helpful replies here. [I'm not laughing at you but at the idea of actually doing this in an exam to see examiner's face.]

I am just wondering if you are working alone or under the guidance of a teacher. They should be able to suggest some suitable choices for you and your voice if so.

Just a thought - will Rutter be accepted as "traditional" in 50 years' time? dry.gif
