By Diana Blom
Regular price

Portrait of America draws together, through music, the poems of four American writers. Two of the poems have become popular and are better known than their writers, but for the other two, the writers are better known than the poems. The songs, a cycle ending with a reprise of the first song, celebrate American writing of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries while exploring the colours and moods of the tenor voice and piano. The songs were composed for American tenor, Kevin Hanrahan. Composed 2018

Richard Want, Esquire (Holford)
By Betty Beath
Regular price
$15.00
For students in their first years of vocal study. A short and humorous work. The vocal line is simple making use of the descending scale form with the occasional octave leap, supported in the accompaniment. Rhythm is simply expressed with contrasts between crotchet and triplet figuration. The simple piano accompaniment supports the voice and introduces some chromatic element.
