Richard Hundley was a singer in the Metropolitan Opera Chorus when he showed the songs he wrote to the soloists.

Anneliese Rothenberger, Rosalind Elias, Anna Moffo, Teresa Stratas, Frederica von Stade, Lili Chookasian, John Reardon, and Betty Allen began singing them in recital.

Hundley, who died yesterday, produced more than a hundred little gems which are sung with deep pleasure by professionals and amateurs alike.
