Drawn from the larger cycle Words of Wisdom, Handsome is a 90-second a cappella miniature designed to make an immediate impression.

Because the work is unaccompanied, it offers flexible range. Whether you are a Tenor, Baritone, or Bass, you can establish your own starting pitch to suit your tessitura. This makes it a universally accessible character piece for any male voice type.

For Auditions: A perfect contemporary contrast piece that requires no accompanist—just you and the acoustic.

For Recitals: An ideal "palette cleanser" or encore.

For Juries: Demonstrates pitch security and dramatic timing without the safety net of a piano.

It serves as an excellent Recital Encore or a Contrast Piece in a longer program.
