Elinor Remick Warren

Elinor Remick Warren (1900-1991) was already commissioned by G. Schirmer to compose art songs before she graduated high school. She was also a concert pianist and collaborative pianist who played for such singers as Lawrence Tibbett, and Kirsten Flagstad performed her songs. Her musical language is very accessible, with hints of French expanded harmonies and some very fun Straussian piano moments!Musical clips performed by Toni Marie Palmertree, soprano, and Ellen Rissinger, piano:All of these songs can be found in Centennial Album: 16 Songs (high voice) (low voice)PianoMelody out of my heartLove’s RiddleMy parting giftRecorded at Morningstar Studios in Norristown, PA.As Season 4 ends, so does the So Lit Song Lit podcast.
