A collection of music for compositions by Ben Moore '82 titled Ben Moore, 14 Songs has been published by G. Schirmer, Inc. In the preface Moore writes "Many of the (songs in this album) are settings of poems that have attracted me since childhood … The texts, for the most parts, are about love, but love in quite a wide variety of modes and orientations." For this collection Moore was inspired by poems by Keats, Yeats and James Joyce. Songs include "In the darkpine-wood," "The Ivy-Wife" and "This heart that flutters."
Music by Moore was also included in The G. Schirmer Collection of American Art Song, 50 Songs by 29 Composers. Moore's piece "The Cloak, the Boat and the Shoes" is among the songs included.
Moore's music has been performed by many leading singers, including soprano Deborah Voigt, mezzo-soprano Susan Graham, tenors Jerry Hadley and Robert White and four-time Tony winner Audra McDonald. In 2005 EMI released Voigt's first recital CD, All My Heart, which includes eight of Moore's songs. With an MFA from The Parsons School of Design, Moore also pursues a career as a painter.
