About this arrangement

Piano,Vocal,Voice - Level 2 - Digital Download SKU: A0.999879 Composed by William P. Gorton. 20th Century,Concert,Patriotic. Score. 3 pages. William P. Gorton #6116537. Published by William P. Gorton (A0.999879). "Freedom's Cost" is a beautiful lament on the price that has been paid by the few for so many, full of irony. With an 18th-century text by William Collins, this art song has been written with the style Schubert in mind (it was a Composition Modeling class project I completed when working on my doctorate). Haunting and lugubrious, it captures the essence of the ironic text. This would be great material for a faculty or student conservatory recital, or a public art song concert. Very accessible for less-experienced singers, yet providing plenty of depth for interpretation. Duration: 2.18This song appears on Gorton's album of art songs, "Brimfull," available through his website (see below).To learn more about or to contact Dr. Gorton, visit his website: gortonmuse.com This product was created by a member of ArrangeMe, Hal Leonard’s global self-publishing community of independent composers, arrangers, and songwriters.
