The songs of Daron Aric Hagen are among the best being produced today. No composer since Samuel Barber and the heyday of Ned Rorem has captured the imagination of singers and lovers of great vocal music with the ease of Daron Hagen. Great sensitivity to words and poetry and an imaginative approach to setting them to music have characterized his songs from the beginning of his career. This generous new collection of sixty songs (many of them from cycles, and three of them drawn from stage works) draws on twenty-five years of song composing and is remarkable for its depth and variety. Hagen's catholic taste in poets allows him to range from the great astringent English Poet Philip Larkin (Larkin Songs [2000]) and Irish Poet Paul Muldoon, a frequent operatic collaborator (Muldoon Songs [1989]), to younger American poets such as Alice Wirth Gray (Figments [2002]) and Susan Griffin (Phantoms of Myself [2000]). This collection also includes several of Hagen's anthology cycles which use poems by different poets related to a single theme: Love In A Life (1981-1998), which sets poems by Browning, Alsadir, Dickinson, Byron, Roethke, Whitman and Lodge and The Heart of the Stranger (1983-1999), which includes poems by Codrescu, Baudelaire, Verlaine, Blake and Houseman, among others. Songbook also includes a Foreword by famed Tenor Paul Sperry, an Introduction by Dr. Carrie de Lapp Culver, and a useful after word by the composer that gives the background on the writing of the songs and a complete bibliography of related publications by and about Daron Hagen. This is a publication all musicians interested in serious vocal literature will want to own and cherish. Also available: O5449 - Muldoon Songs - Voice and Piano / O5460 - Bandanna - An Opera in Two Acts & A Prologue - Vocal Score. Here is a listing of related products.
