Copland Three Songs

Three Songs: Simple Gifts At the River (1:55) I Bought Me A Cat (4:52) www.matthewsprizzo.com www.ilanadavidson.com Old American Songs are two sets of songs arranged by Aaron Copland in 1950 and 1952 respectively. Originally scored for voice and piano, they were reworked for baritone (or mezzo-soprano) and orchestra. Both sets are published by Boosey & Hawkes. The voice and piano versions are easily transposed to any register; the orchestral sets can also be transposed but are usually sung in their original keys by either a baritone or a mezzo-soprano.
