Four Long Island Songs are to poems by William Heyen, and recall a place far different than the traffic jams and strip malls of today would lead you to believe. The Land of Nod is a set of four songs on the quirky, humor-laden poems of Alice Wirth Gray. Finally, Rapture is a wedding song which perfectly captures the tenderness in George Eliot's poem.
