While studying voice at the conservatory and on
my radio programs, I sang many of Herbert’s
beautiful songs. The melodies have stayed with
me through the years and in this album I bring
you my interpretations. I wanted to express his
music in the romantic style in which he wrote.
Changes in harmonies and melodic lines were
made to capture that feeling. The songs in the
album are: Indian Summer, Kiss Me Again, You
Belong To Me, Toyland, When You’re Away,
Neapolitan Love Song, Italian Street Song, Ah
Sweet Mystery Of Life, A Kiss In The Dark and
Sweethearts.
Scoring calls for 2 Flutes, Oboe, Bassoon, Tenor
Sax, 4 French Horns, 2 Trombones, Celesta, Piano,
Vibes, 2 Guitars, 2 Mandolins, Harp, Cimbalom,
Drums, 4 Sopranos, 16 Violins, 8 Violas, 6 Celli
and Acoustic Bass.
