My list of favorite art songs and arias consists of a plethora of works that will probably not be known long after I go to my rest.
Even with the "works" of our own age - I was watching the Super Bowl the year Mick Jagger did the Halftime show. When he broke into a work that is well known by everyone in our generation, my youngest son looked at me and said "He knows "Get No?"
OY!
Where are the survivors of the massacre at Benghazi? The silence of the Obama Regime on this question is deafening!
Fiat Justitia, Ruat Coelum!
Genuflectimus non ad principem sed ad Principem Pacis!
Listen, O isles, unto me; and hearken, ye people, from far; The LORD hath called me from the womb; from the bowels of my mother hath he made mention of my name. (Isaiah 49:1 KJV)

Thanks to the Hyperion label and the work of accompanist Graham Johnson, I have the complete art songs of Schubert, Schumann, Chausson, and I've now started on Brahms. There are more favorites than I can count, especially with Schubert.
