Ranking right up there with Korngold, Amy Beach, Florence Price and others, Helen C. Crane’s re-discovered vocal music is an absolute treasure trove, sure to enrich singers and their audiences for decades.

     With piano accompaniments that reflect Helen Crane’s appreciation for tonality and memorability, yet reaching toward unusual and nuanced tone painting, her music adheres to the unique parameters of the human voice and need for relatability between both the performer and the singer’s audience.

     Here we have Helen’s contribution to companied vocal literature, her interpretation of older  and more recent poetic texts of the day, of both German and English poets.
