'Empress of Night' is the last in a set of three songs by late nineteenth-century American composer Amy Beach, here arranged flexibly for either accompanied S, SA, SAB, or SATB by Brandon Williams. A light arpeggiated semiquaver accompaniment propels the energetic and characterful vocal lines. The text employs evocative language that is enhanced by colourful harmony and playful piano figures.

Accompanying Accessible and Beautiful, ed. Garrett and Coleman, this audio bundle contains learning tracks for each voice part, as well as a full performance track.
