Synopsis

(Vocal Collection). American composer Celius Dougherty (1902-1986) is best remembered for his art songs. Gracious and witty, they show a love of words, with texts ranging from the most elite English and American poets to a dictionary entry ("Love in the Dictionary"). With a deep understanding of the voice and the piano, Dougherty created a body of song literature that lives on in a steady flow of student and professional performances. This edition includes several songs that were previously unpublished. Singers will love "Review," a hilariously detailed critic's account of a voice recital. Contents: Beauty is not caused * The Bird and the Beast * The Children's Letter to the United Nations * Declaration of Independence * Everyone Sang * The First Christmas * Green Meadows * Hush'd be the camps today * The K'e * Little fourpaws * Love in the Dictionary * Loveliest of trees * Madonna of the Evening Flowers * A Minor Bird * O by the by * Pianissimo * Portrait * Primavera * Review * Serenader * Sonatina * Song for Autumn * Sound the Flute! * The Stranger * Tapestry * Thy fingers make early flowers * Until and I heard * Upstream * Weathers * What the Bullet Sang
