Know any good duets?

[theoriginalblurker]

My sister-in-law is getting married next Valentine's Day, and she has asked that drangelo and I sing at the wedding. We're looking for song suggestions that would be appropriate for alto/tenor and would sound good a cappella.

Suggest away!

The Rose? ; )

I've got lots of classical ideas, but I'm guessing that won't help. I've sung Sunrise, Sunset at a couple of weddings, which would work very well as a duet. I just sang One Hand, One Heart from West Side Story at my brother's wedding which would also be beautiful as a duet with minimal tweaking.

Um...isn't One Hand, One Heart a duet already?

(I wonder if it's too high for me...)

While I do have some high parts to my range, I am most comfortable in the alto/mezzo part of it, and "One Hand, One Heart" only gets too high for me in a couple of places that could easily be transposed down.

Though I have a hard time imagining it as a good choice for a wedding song, given the context. :)

One song I've gotten really into lately that is less a duet and more a chance for voices to harmonize interestingly is "Lullaby" by the Dixie Chicks. The lyrics are SO beautiful, and would be a great choice for a wedding. "How long do you want to be loved? Is forever enough, is forever enough?"

A duet, yes. A capella, no. Also, very short through the sung portions.
