The Listeners
Works by Ernst Bacon, Theodore Chanler, Norman Dello Joio, Robert Evett, Irving Fine, Lee Hoiby, John Jacob Niles, Ned Rorem, and Robert Ward
William Parker-baritone; Dalton Baldwin-piano; William Huckaby-piano
Among those who have made a specialty of song, the names Virgil Thomson (1896-1989), Ernst Bacon (1898-1990), Theodore Chanler (1902-1961), Samuel Barber (1910-1981), Robert Ward (born 1917), William Flanagan (1923-1969), and Ned Rorem (born 1923) stand out. One thing they all have in common—the ability to set the texts in such a way that a singer can make them understood. And in general they have been fastidious in choosing poetry apt for musical setting. The American song, with roots, as we have seen, in the German Lied and the French ḿelodie, has become a literature in its own right. |
