Staple-Bound. Condición: Fair to Good. Assumed First Edition. A charming cycle of eight vocal duets by this gifted but relatively unknown American composer, setting texts from the plays of Elizabethan dramatists Beaumont and Fletcher.

This very rare cycle is now nestled in a clear, protective polypropylene bag with archival backing board.…
