Background: The earliest music in this release of American Classics is from Stephen Foster (1826-1864), whose songs were immensely popular during his lifetime, and still are today, almost 150 years after his death. Charles Tomlinson Griffes (1884-1920) came to prominence during the early years of the 20th century as a follower of the French Impressionists and he is best known for his impressionistic orchestral works: The White Peacock, The Pleasure Dome of Kubla Khan and the Poème for flute and orchestra. Here we have an opportunity to hear some of Griffes songs sung by Deborah Voigt.

With the Eight Poems of Emily Dickinson we have a marriage of music by one of the greatest American composers with the words of one of their greatest poets. The poetry of the reclusive Dickinson is elusive and not easily understood. A good way into understanding her poetry is listen to Copland's wonderful settings.
