For soprano, flute and piano, includes two scores and one part. Song for Soprano and Three Songs, both composed in the 1960s, already show evidence of M. William Karlins's love for such diverse composers as Stefan Wolpe, Roger Sessions, Elliott Carter, the post 1950s Stravinsky, as well as Vaughn Williams, Hindemith and middle period Stravinsky. There are strong indications of the kind of pitch focus that Karlins would later refer to as tonality without a key. The music is linear and lyrical, spicy and sweet, with meticulous detail, but always characterized by a directness of expression which engages the audience.
