I Have Songs: The Rachel J. Peters Songbook | Volume One: In and Out of Tunes

Vocal Selections (PDF download)

A collection of 19 standalone songs spanning 25 years of musical rumination. In here you’ll find a little something for every voice type, character, and mood to suit vocal recitals and cabaret performances for daring, off-kilter personalities. Music and lyrics are by me unless otherwise indicated. This volume includes only one selection from a theatrical work.
