These five part-songs were composed over ten years from 1903 to 1913, but only the first was published in the composer's lifetime. Bridge's early works - those written before the first World War - were more late Romantic in style, warmly expansive, than his mature works. These songs display Bridge's skill and craftsmanship.British composer Frank Bridge was active in the early decades of the 20th century and was a highly respected conductor, violist and teacher - his sole composition student having been Benjamin Britten. Britten honoured his former teacher in his work Variations on a Theme of Frank Bridge, based on a theme from one of Bridge's pieces for String quartet.

These sixteen songs are a selection of those I've composed over the course of several decades. The texts are primarily by Americans, including William Carlos Williams, James Wright, and Elizabeth Bishop, though three are by British poets. The subject of most of the songs is the natural world and, often, humans' interaction with it. There are also several that merely celebrate love. —William McClellandHigh Voice & Piano Composed: 2005-2014 Published by: WMC Music (BMI).

Jenkyns' songs for young singers can best be described as art songs for the youngest singers. Their ranges and technical requirements are just right for the younger age groups and their lyrics - as in The Snowman - are perfectly gauged for their performers.
Peter Jenkyns was a 20th century British composer, singer and educator who wrote a series of songs for primary-aged children, sensitively arranged and with appropriate lyrics. Jenkyns was the headmaster of two primary schools outside of London for whose choirs he composed songs for the St Albans' Schools Music Festival. He was also a highly-regarded Gilbert andSullivan patter-song singer and he founded a local Gilbert & Sullivan society which is still thriving.
