Maury Yeston - December Songs: Voice and Piano (Piano/Vocal/Guitar Artist Songbook) [Paperback] Review

Longing: American Art Songs
The songs of the haunting and lyrical cycle follow the arc of a woman's emotional journey after the end of a serious relationship. Written in an accessible idiom that is a mixture of classical and Broadway, Yeston melds music and lyrics into a 35-minute exploration of how we continue with our lives after the most painful experiences. These songs are for the singer-actress who wants to fully inhabit Yeston's wounded but strong woman.

Product Description:
Now back in print, this book matches the work commissioned for Andrea Marcovicci by the Carnegie Hall Corporation in honor of Carnegie Hall's Centennial Season. The premier was given in Weill Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall on April 16, 1991. It is a song cycle in the American cabaret tradition, written in reaction to Schubert's Die Winterreise (a woman struggles to get over a devastating love affair). The songbook also features complete lyrics and a separate lyric section, notes on "December Songs" by Bernard Jacobson, and a bio of composer Maury Yeston.
