Shakespearean songs, op. 19
|
Melissa Baber, soprano;
Nan McSwain, piano |
These songs represent a blending of the spontaneity of Baber's youthful songs with the more craftsman-like style of his college years. The most striking characteristic of this collection is its emotional range. From the melodramatic first song it passes through songs of love, comedy, whimsy, and burlesque, as befits the author. For this reason, these songs make considerable artistic and technical demands of both the singer and the accompanist and have proven to be ideal for college voice instruction.
