AASR Surveyed songs
This is the list of songs that were provided by respondents in both surveys which fit the developed AASR criteria . They are listed here as compiled from each survey. Across both surveys, respondents specified 34 composers and 77 individual songs.
Some songs exist in several keys and we have used the descriptors given in the score relating to voice category: High, Medium, Low and Medium-Low. Many songs in Survey 2 are yet to be researched so do not yet have links to an individual song page. If you want to read more about this research, read our Australian Voice article.
