Songs for Soprano

A second volume of soprano songs contains titles that are all connected, in one way or another, to renowned tenor and new music champion Paul Sperry. The set of Long Island Songs includes Invocation; The Odor of Pear; The Nesconset Crickets and The Crane at Gibbs' Pond and were composed and premiered in 1992 by Sperry, but underwent extensive revision in 2005. The Land of Nod was commissioned by and dedicated to Sperry in 1993 and includes The Land of Nod; A Death in the Family and Deer in Mist and Almonds. The final selection is On a Nineteenth Century Color Lithograph of Red Riding Hood by the Artist J. H., a humorous take on the traditional story. Each title is also available individually via ePrint.
