a collection of representative songs from Helen Crane's late period ; all are English: two groupings - "Old English Songs" featuring poets predominately pre-nineteenth century; texts by Shakespeare, Campion, Dekker, Robert Herrick; then "Newer English Songs" encompassing poets from the nineteenth century to time of composition: about 1923. poetic texts by Marie von Vorst, W.B. Yeats, Francis Thompson, Robert Burns & Katherine Hinkson. The pieces are written with the medium voice in mind, with a range between middle C and F an octave and a fourth above. Early pieces have a Wolf - ian lyricism and the latter are more adventuresome harmonically but remain tonal and very accessible.
