American Songs, Op. 12

Randall Black, tenor
Marie Taylor, piano

Like the Op. 2 songs, these concentrate on Baber's beloved American poets, especially Vachel Lindsay, E. A. Robinson, Sidney Lanier, and, of course, Emily Dickinson. After the pattern-like earlier songs, these represent a flowering of lyrical freedom, as in "The Runner in the Skies." Except for the demands of this lyricism, performers will find these only moderately difficult.
