2 Songs on American Poems: Baritone and Piano

Více o knize

Set against the serene backdrop of a rustic cabin in Washington State, the Two Songs on American Poems were composed in memory of Michael Jasper Gioia, reflecting themes of loss and remembrance. The first song, Prayer, honors the infant's brief life, while Sure on This Shining Night, initially a choral piece, showcases a blend of American musical theater influences. Both songs can be performed independently or as a pair, with a seamless transition intended between them. The works highlight the artistic contributions of Dana Gioia and the vocal talents of Rod Gilfry.
