Peggy March (born Margaret Annemarie Battavio, March 8, 1948, Lansdale, Pennsylvania) is an American pop singer. She is primarily known for her 1963 million-selling song "I Will Follow Him".

I wish I were a princess

I wish I were a princess

And if I were a princess

I’d make you my prince

I wish I were a princess

So beautiful to see

Id pa*s the greatest law

In history

A lovely little law

I hope you’d never break

And it would make you fall in love with me

And if I were a princess

The next thing I would do

Is plan a celebration in my arms

And what a happy day

When people hear you say

"My princess I’m asking for your hand"

I wish I were a princess

I wish I were a princess

Id have you sit beside me

So handsome so bold

I wish I were a princess

And you were my prince

Oh wed live happily ever after

As in days of old

I wish I were a princess

I wish I were a princess

Id have you sit beside me

So handsome so bold

I wish I were a princess to fade

Solveig is a central character in the play Peer Gynt by Henrik Ibsen. She sings the famous "Solveig's Song" in Edvard Grieg's musical suite of the same name. Ibsen uses sun imagery in association to the character (scene 10, act 5), indicating that Ibsen may have favored the idea that the name is etymologically associated with the sun. There is also a female central character in the Argentine novelist Leopoldo Marechal's Adán Buenosayres named Solveig Amundsen. Furthermore, Solveig is the main character and narrator of Matthew J. Kirby's Icefall.

Marita Kvarving Sølberg (March 22, 1976) is a Norwegian soprano.

Kanske vil der gå både Vinter og Vår

Og naeste Sommer med, op det hele År

Men engang vil du komme, det ved jeg visst.

Her skal jeg nok vente, for det lovte jeg sidst.

Gud styrke dig, hvor du i Verden går

Gud glaede dig, hvis du for hans fodskammel står

Her skal jeg vente till du komme igjen

Og vente du hisst oppe, vi traeffes der, min Ven!

A stand-alone overture intended for concert performance, made up of material and themes from Berlioz's opera Benvenuto Cellini, including some music from the opera's carnival scene – hence the overture's title.

LE CARNAVAL DES ANIMAUX

O Carnaval dos Animais, em francês, Le Carnaval des Animaux, é uma peça para dois pianos e orquestra do compositor francês Camille Saint-Saëns composta em fevereiro de 1886, quando o compositor passava férias em uma pequena aldeia na Áustria, após ter chego de uma turnê sem muito sucesso na Alemanha.

Longe de ser uma inocente peça musical, o compositor tinha por objetivo fazer uma crítica ao cenário musical parisiense no fim do século XIX.

O compositor não permitiu que a obra fosse publicada durante em vida, pois temia que ela arruinasse sua reputação de "compositor sério". Cheia de referências a outros compositores, a obra foi publicada apenas após a sua morte (com exceção do movimento O Cisne que por ter caráter mais sério foi publicado ainda em vida).

Essa obra é composta por 14 movimentos para ser apresentada na terça-feira gorda de carnaval.
