G. Schirmer Collection of American Art Song - Medium/Low Voice and Piano

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 the High Voice and Medium/Low Voice editions of the book.
