Having been considered as a 'fashionable' and 'cliché' composer of his day Hahn's compositions are possibly not as well-known as they ought to be. If My Verses Had Wings! for Voice & Piano however is one of many compositions that shatter these prejudices held representing the engaging diversity of the composer's music. Venezuelan-born Reynaldo Hahn (1875-1947) entered the Paris Conservatoire at 10 years old. He received a high standard of musical education from Decombes Lavignac Dubois and Massenet before becoming a prolific and versatile composer himself writing works for all genres. For Hahn music was amagical art and his compositions often contain expressions of his otherwise hidden emotions and moods. If My Verses Had Wings! is based on the poetry of Victor Hugo. Moreover this edition of Hahn's If My Verses Had Wings! contrains transcriptions in three different keys making it versatile to a range of voices. Hahn's If My Verses Had Wings! contains a variety of different features making for a pleasant and evocative work for singers and pianists.
