This review is from: American Art Songs of the Turn of the Century (Paperback)

This music book is a fine resource for the student or teacher looking for hard to find music in the English lang. For this reason I belive the High School Teacher or Student would find this book very usefull. There is a nice selection to choose from,with many different composers. The variety of music is also large,having light-hearted,as will as the more serious. I would also recommend this book to the person interested in early popular songs of eary 1900, as Art songs and popular songs were often one and the same.
