Echo

1995 | soprano, mezzo-soprano, tenor, baritone or bass with piano; baritone with chamber orchestra. Available as PDF download on my site at MusicaNeo (links on homepage)

Poem by Christina Rossetti, approximately 3.5 minutes long. 

• Echo and The Ballad Singer can be sung as a set by baritone.
• Song 15 of Come To Me In Dreams, orchestrated for baritone, saxophone, double bass and piano

I revised the markings for this song in 2015, clarifying dynamics, etc.

A new edition is available for PDF download from MusicaNeo (available through my home page) and hard copies ard available from Glendower Jones. If you have an older edition, please email me and I'll send you the new version gratis.

A new chamber orchestra version, paired with The Ballad Singer, should be complete by the end of December 2021. If interested, please contact me directly.
