Abstract
The middle of the 20th century offers a rich and distinguished installment in American song literature. Hidden in the margins of this songbook is William Flanagan (1923-1969), a composer, music critic, and prominent social figure during the fifties and sixties. This essay sheds light on the underappreciated and underperformed composer while showing why William Flanagan belongs in today’s standard repertory.
