A treasure trove of songs for middle range voice and piano by the seminal 20th century American composer, including many published for the first time. Blitzstein's works blend social commentary and political satire with charm, simplicity and humour. Perhaps best known for his adaptation of Kurt Weill's Threepenny Opera, interest in Blitzstein has been revived following the release of a new disc by Dawn Upshaw and a Hollywood film directed by Tim Robbins.
