Maury Yeston - December Songs: Voice and Piano

Longing: American Art Songs The songs of the haunting and lyrical cycle follow the arc of a woman's emotional journey after the end of a serious relationship. Written in an accessible idiom that is a mixture of classical and Broadway, Yeston melds music and lyrics into a 35-minute exploration of how we continue with our lives after the most painful experiences. These songs are for the singer-actress who wants to fully inhabit Yeston's wounded but strong woman.
