"This volume...should be in the libraries of every music school & voice teacher."                                    - Judith Carman,  Journal of Singing, March/April, 2005                                                            CELIUS   DOUGHERTY:                  30 ART SONGS  in Original Keys, for Medium / High Voice & Piano "American composer Celius Dougherty is best remembered for his art songs.  Gracious and witty, they show a love of words, with texts ranging from the most elite English and American poets to a dictionary entry, Love in the Dictionary. 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 This edition includes several songs that were previously unpublished.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." - G. Schirmer  To order 30 Art Songs                                                                                                                                                                                               Love in the Dictionary, Nancy Williams  Song Title                                                    (underlined titles can be played.)

Schirmer for bringing back in one volume many of his previously published songs and adding a second volume of his gorgeous folksong arrangements, including several never published before.  Dougherty's songs are eminently singable – he knew how to write a good tune with an ingratiating piano part – and his humorous songs are among the wittiest in the literature.  I look forward to hearing them on many singers' recitals."    -  Paul Sperry, director of Joy in Singing                    "The substance of art song...the directness and storytelling function of folksong...worthy of concert performance at the highest level...wonderful vehicles for study."         Judith Carman, Journal of Singing,  March/April, 2005                                      -   2 Editions:  High & Low Voice with Piano Across the Western Ocean * Barbara Allen * Blow Ye Winds * Bring My Lulu Home * Buffalo Boy * Colorado Trail *  Come All You Fair and Tender Maidens * I Wish I Were on Yonder Hill *  The Lady Who Loved a Pig * Mobile Bay * O Waly, Waly * Red River Valley * Rio Grande * Shady Grove * Shenandoah * Stewball *  Wayfaring Stranger * What You Gonna Do When the Meat Gives Out To order Folk Songs & Chanties - High or Low               SERENADER:       Songs  and  a  Sonata            74 minute CD,  2003                                      available at  iTunes                                           Barcarole * Bird And The Beast * Blow Ye Winds* Bring My Lulu Home *  Exotic Lullaby   * Green Meadows  * The K'e  * Love in the Dictionary  *  A Minor Bird   *  Madonna of the Evening Flowers  *  O Waly, Waly  * Primavera * Review * Serenader   * Songs of the American Countryside * Wayfaring Stranger * Weathers  * Music from Seas and Ships 12 art songs, 4 folk arrangements, 4 folk duets and a duo-piano sonata of sea chanties....  In 2002 Paul Sperry devoted half of his annual celebration of American composers at the Lincoln Center Library to songs by Celius.  The performers were the winners of the prestigious Joy In Singing competition.  Following the concert three of these wonderful singers - Jennifer O'Loughlin, James Martin and Scott Murphree - made studio recordings of 9 songs for this CD, accompanied by Israel Gursky.  Charleston's finest soprano and accompanist, Deanna McBroom and Robin Zemp, respectively, combined to record the first Dougherty song that was published, Green Meadows (1925), Wayfaring Stranger (1967) and his tour de force, Madonna of the Evening Flowers (1949.)  Tony Offerle's rich baritone voice joined them for Songs of the American Countryside (1967,) four unpublished folk duets.  The finale is Music from Seas and Ships, a duo-piano sonata of sea chanties, performed by Fabiana Claure and William Villaverde.
