Three Songs from William Blake
A slightly odd and interesting text was given to me almost two years ago by a fellow student, a mezzo-soprano. Written by William Blake, it sparked my interest. After looking at some of his other writings, I found two more that I was interested in. "The Clod and the Pebble", "Love's Secret" and "Hear the Voice" are the there poems that I've worked from, the first being a Soprano solo, the second for Baritone, and the final song a duet.
For Soprano & Baritone and Piano.
