Description

Roy Agnew was a composer for the piano; all of his output is directed towards it. There was either no opportunity or no interest in writing chamber music. He did, however, compose about 20 songs and published roughly half of them. There is also a set of two Songs Without Words for voice and clarinet. The totality of the songs is now available through the Keys Press, so it is worth listing all of them for the record in the hope that some attention can be drawn to them; it is music by one of our finest composers.
