Betty Roe: Madam Songs

A setting of three poems by Langston Hughes for Soprano and Double Bass. Hughes was one of the most influential and important writers of the Harlem Renaissance, an African American artistic movement in the 1920s that celebrated black life and culture. This is a splendid set of pieces, there is humour here but much poignancy and politicism too, and Betty Roe?s music compounds these factors making this historically interesting, as well as an enjoyable work.

The Songs Of Donald Swann - Volume 2: Six Poetic Songs

Donald Swann is best known as one half of the comic duo Flanders and Swann, who dominated the West End and Broadway stages in the late 1950s and 1960s. Though less recognised, he was also a leading exponent of the lyric song, having reinterpreted the English art-song tradition, exemplified by Parry, Quilter, Warlock and others, in his own distinctive and exotic way. This second volume of his songs for Medium Voice and Piano, features a range of styles and moods that fit with the diversity of the poems he has set and demonstrate his sensitivity to the setting of texts to music. These Practical Versions of Swann?s ever evolving songs are a wonderful insight into the composer?s ability and justify his place in the canon of English song.

Betty Roe: Destination London

This mini-musical began life as a workshop project commissioned by June Keyte for late-teenage children at Kingsmead School, Enfield. The three main characters are a contented boy, an uncertain girl and a disillusioned person who can be a boy or a girl. The chorus can be any size. The part of the porter is a solo voice taken from the chorus. The staging and costumes can be as simple or elaborate as you wish but the opening and closing scenes must in some way represent a railway carriage, with the three main characters sitting side by side. The piece offers some scope for the insertion of other songs about London to extend the performance in appropriate circumstances. Destination London is ideal for a school or youth group looking for a substantial item in a mixed programme, or a group not yet ready to tackle a full-scale musical.The accompaniment can be piano alone, but the addition of double bass, percussion or any other instruments would add to the overall effect.
