about

This was a small batch, single run album from my classical days. It combines the song cycle "Songs of Travel", composed by Ralph Vaughan Williams, with the poetry of Robert Louis Stevenson, with a collection of some of my favorite British and American art songs, spirituals, and folk music. The recordings were taken from two live concerts I performed in 2011, in Syracuse, New York, and Dallas, TX.
