Original

Three Langston Hughes Songs for Soprano and Piano - Opus 12 composed by Daniel Carr. For Piano. Vocal. Chords,Voice,Soprano Voice. 21st Century,Jazz,Blues,Broadway,Musicals. Performance. Published by Daniel Carr. S0.56169. Three Langston Hughes Songs for Soprano and Piano, Opus 12, were inspired by the wonderful, rhythmical poetry of Langston Hughes. 1902-1967. These songs have a strong jazz influence and portray feelings of raw, unfiltered passion. They call for a theatrical performance. My interest in jazz music started with my dad who played trumpet and taught me clarinet as a youngster. One of my fondest musical memories is his laughter and pride as I would 'improvise' by adding a few grace notes to the end of Shoo, Fly, Don't Bother Me. While my interest in jazz waned for several years, it returned as I became more serious about composition and started to consider jazz a 'bridge' between the pop and classical worlds. I could imagine these songs being sung on a lazy, muggy afternoon in the Deep South. The notation of these works was somewhat challenging, as I wanted an improvised sound with various note bends and occasional shrieks while still keeping a clear, solid structure in each song.
