Art Songs

A collection of seven English art songs for vocal study for high, medium, and low voices. Invocation, for high voice, sets a poem by Stephen Vincent Benet from "John Brown's Body." In the Pale Christmas Straw; On Christmas Eve the Animals Were Said to Talk and Let the Frosty Midnight Sky are a set of three Christmas songs for high voice on poetry by Penny Harter. For low voice, The People That Walked in Darkness is an original setting of the well-known aria text from Isaiah 9:2 famously used in Handel's "Messiah." Postcard and Benediction are for medium voice setting original texts by the composer.
