i'm from Thailand and i'm in my school's french choir. There are 4 parts - Soprano, Alto, Tenor and Bass. We have the competition every year, here are the songs we sang in the past

From Bizet's Carmen
- Habanera [Soprano,Alto solo and tenor, bass sing in other parts]
- Votre Toast [Tenor, bass solo and Soprano, alto sing in other parts]
- Les voici

From other composers
- Beethoven's - L'hymne a la joie [Ode to joy in french] - we use this song last year
- Fauré - Cantique de Jean Raine
- Mon coeur se recommande à vous
- Etc

these all i can remember

now, i´d like u all to help me find interesting [maybe famous and well-known]french songs/arias.
it should be originally in french, but it's ok if it is oficially translated into french like Beethoven and EU's Hyme à la joie.

if we win the competition, we will have an honorable chance to sing to HRH Princess Maha Chakri Sirindhorn, the adorable princess of Thailand [we had this chance last year!!]


Thank you very much for your kind help

P.s. Almost everytime we use classical song in competitions, i feel that it is more interesting and exciting than pop music!!
P.s. 2 - There are some old videos that were recorded while we were singing in the competition day

Mon coeur se recommande a vous

Well, for good French songs, you could try some arrangement of Faure's "L'horizon Chimerique."

How about the "Flower Duet" from "Lakmé", by Delibes?

How about NOT that.
