kenjariMusic with Words: A Composer's View
by Virgil Thomson
This short book consists of Thomson's musings on text setting, vocal music, and opera, plus an appendix of musical examples taken from his own work. It's not very methodical or instructional, and Thomson is a bit old-fashioned in his outlook, but there is still some potentially useful and interesting material.
