King of Prussia, PA – The greatly heralded Lowell Liebermann sets poetry to music with Night Songs, Op. 22 (111-40206 — Score — $8.95) for low voice and piano. Combining three poignant songs about the evening, this cycle is based on “Good Night” by Mark Van Doren, “She Tells Her Love While Half Asleep” by Robert Graves, and “A Variation on ‘To Say to Go to Sleep’” by Randall Jarrell. According to Daniel Cariaga of the Los Angeles Times, Night Songs, Op. 22 “represent[s] high hopes for substance and sensitive word setting." This work is also available for high voice and piano (111-40207).

Lowell Liebermann is one of America's most frequently performed and recorded living composers. Called by The New York Times "as much of a traditionalist as an innovator." Mr. Liebermann's music is known for its technical command and audience appeal. Having written over one hundred works in all genres, several of them have gone on to become standard repertoire for their instruments, including his Sonata for Flute and Piano, which has been recorded more than twenty times to date, and his Gargoyles for Piano, which has been recorded fifteen times. Lowell Liebermann was born in New York City in 1961. He began piano studies at the age of eight, and composition studies at fourteen. He made his performing debut two years later at Carnegie Recital Hall, playing his Piano Sonata, Op.1, which he composed when he was fifteen. He holds Bachelor's, Master's, and Doctoral degrees from the Juilliard School of Music. Among his many awards is a Charles Ives Fellowship from the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters.
