Art Song Innovations

		"Having met my friend, Fay Putnam, recently at a NATS (National Association of Teachers of Singing) Convention in Miami, she brought the Songs of Dick Thompson to my attention. It is not always easy to find a 'natural' at art song composition, but I firmly believe Dick Thompson to be that soul mate of singers and listeners who thrive on this most intimate literature. Let's hope he has many more gifts to give us!" *—Phyllis Bryn-Julson*
Art Song Innovations is dedicated to the proposition that all art songs are not created equal. Let's face it: Some are just more fun than others. Created by Dick Thompson and Kim Rich, both Art Song Innovations and the songs they offer here are a different class of art songs. We hope you will agree and invite you to sample our wares.
Why write art songs?
Many people see art songs as something academic, obscure and irrelevant to the lives we lead. We think art songs can be interesting, lively, and relevant.
