Salter: Nineteen Songs for High Voice and Piano

The collection features nineteen songs for high voice and piano, composed between 1904 to 1920. They represent a small yet contrasting selection of Turner Salter's vocal output which comprises over 200 songs in total (approximately 80 of which were published during her lifetime). Showcasing the breath of her compositional style, the selections traverse a spectrum of comedic vignettes of childhood, intimate mediations on love and nature, as well as more expansive, scena-like works of dramatic prowess -- a striking range considering that Turner Salter received virtually no formal training in music theory.
