American composers have continued in the great art song tradition of Schubert, Schumann, Brahms, etc., and Amy Beach is a shining example. Fully romantic and nineteenth-century in spirit and style, but she has such a knack for original melodies that we have to admire her creative impulse.
The two songs here are entitled:
- I Sought the Lord (1937)
- Though I Take the Wings of the Morning (1941)
Performed by Katherine Kelton (Mezzo-Soprano) and Catherine Bringerud (piano)
