Hey, y'all. Professional singer here. I've been looking for vocal bass repertoire for years, in libraries, stores and online and through asking friends. My efforts have been shockingly futile. Of course I can find the standard arias and good anthologies, but I can't be spending this much time browsing through "7 songs op. 54" and find they're all for high voice, and so on. And when I do find a song in my range, it might be incredibly boring.

If there was anyone in the whole world who would share with me a comprehensive list of bass songs, most of which they actually like, I'd be over the moon.

A big request, I know, but I imagine every bass voice around the world must be thinking the same? Someone must have actually made a list?

There have been innumerable songs written for low voice, most of which are not in the standard repertoire. I don't think anyone has ever made a list of all songs ever written for low voice...
