Celius Dougherty – 30 Art Songs in Original Keys

for Medium/High Voice and Piano
American composer Celius Dougherty (1902-1986) is best remembered for his art songs.

With a deep understanding of the voice and the piano, Dougherty created a body of song literature that lives on in a steady flow of student and professional performances. This edition includes several songs that were previously unpublished. Singers will love Review, a hilariously detailed critic’s account of a voice recital.
