Love Songs

Description

Voice, Piano — A stunning volume of songs on twelve impassioned love sonnets by the composer's wife, Anne Spencer Lindbergh. For most of these handsome pieces, Sapieyevski chooses unusually delicate and transparent musical textures, importing an almost impressionistic flavor. A few of the songs from this large cycle may be performed separately as long as the sequence is preserved. Two instrumental accompaniments are available on rental from the publisher: string quartet and chamber orchestra. All singers should see this important addition to contemporary vocal literature. For colleges, professional. Medium difficult.
