This comprehensive collection is the best one-volume source available on the topic; with a mix of familiar recital standards and intriguing material awaiting discovery. Includes composers from c. 1900 into the 21st century. Some songs make their first published appearance in American Art Song: Gian Carlo Menotti's moving “The Old Man's Song;” Michael Tilson Thomas' inspired “Grace;” dedicated to Leonard Bernstein; and Aaron Jay Kernis' “A Good Boy;” as well a boogie-woogie art song by the editor; “Blue Monday.” The same songs appear in High Voice and Medium/Low Voice.
