David Parks first met Richard Hundley over the phone in 1989 and for over twenty years has sung his songs in various concerts in the United States, Ireland, South Africa, Eastern Europe, and Canada. The idea for this CD began when David Parks was sponsored by the U.S. Department of State to present an American art song recital (including those of Hundley's) in several venues in Bosnia-Herzegovina. In 2005 Parks brought Mr. Hundley to the Ithaca College campus to present two days of master classes on his songs. It was after these sessions that Hundley encouraged Parks to record a group of his songs. After several discussions with other voice teachers and singers, it became apparent to Parks that a complete CD of Mr. Hundley's songs would be the only possible outcome to this project. This recording is the first complete CD of the songs of Richard Hundley. It includes nineteen songs that are published by Boosey & Hawkes, of which six songs which are from Hundley's latest publication, 10 Songs (Boosey & Hawkes). This CD also features the premiere recording of ten of Mr. Hundley's songs.
