Six Songs on Poems by Edna St. Vincent Millay

Description

Medium Voice, Piano — The Millay settings are remarkable for their almost symphonic textures and pronounced sense of drama. Bonds’ music is compelling and as profoundly moving as Millay’s poems themselves – a feat rarely if ever matched by other composers who have set these iconic poems to music. Now published for the first time, these settings are poised to assume their rightful position as milestones in twentieth-century art song. (For original/high voice, see 491-03177)
