Song in the Wilderness

This work is a cantata for chorus and orchestra, with baritone solo, celebrating the pioneers who settled the American wilderness. In his poem, Green has given us the finer spirit of the ancestors of many native Americans throughout the republic. Charles Vardell has brought his imagination and distinguished skill to the translation of emotions, ideas, and aspirations into music.

Originally published in 1947.

About the author

The author's three children had grown up and his eldest had two of her own, Isobelle and Oscar.
Their imagination knew no boundaries. Every cupboard was a 'den', a sheet draped over objects, a tent, not to mention the fun they had with their toys! The author worked on this and wrote several books around them. What a joy.
