Product Description
Storypeople Songs flow from a random Facebook newsfeed posting where I saw a former student say "these stories would make great songs." I read her post, clicked through to the Storypeople.com website, and realized what a treasure these little stories truly are. And at that moment I decided I simply must set some to music.
I had promised James Stevens, a 2015 graduate of Webster University (Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance) that I would compose something for his senior recital. These little ditties are his,written with his voice and his style in mind. They were composed in the cold of January 2015.
May these songs bring smiles, a few laughs, and perhaps a tear or two to all who sing them and all who hear them.
The seven songs are intended to be sung as a set; they alternate between humor and heart-feels. They were conceived for a college-level voice.
The recording is by Saint Louis residents Matt Pentecost, baritone, and Nancy Mayo, piano, both colleagues of mine.
