Product Description
This is Volume I of the collected songs of William Hawley, from the earliest preserved song (the 1976 An Object, on an Ezra Pound poem) to The Bridge of Sighs (Lord Byron), 1998. The collection comprises 23 works: 21 for voice and piano, one set for voice and harp, and one set for voice, piano, and violin. The songs were composed variously for unspecified voice, soprano, mezzo-soprano, alto, or baritone. All of the poetry was set in the original languages (English, German, Italian, Greek, and Japanese). Several of these works remain in manuscript, others have been computer-engraved by the composer in one fully bookmarked PDF file of 220 pages with Table of Contents in hypertext. The audio clip is from a private recording of the Four Keats Songs (Joyce Andrews, Soprano, Neal Goren, Piano, New York, 1985), the score of which is also available separately at SMP Press.
