In 1960 he copyrighted the songs for his musical ''Forty Ways to Sunday'', and between 1961 and 1963 he wrote words and music for songs including "Bluebird", the cycle ''Seven Songs'', "Don't Mention Love Again", "The Gift of Christmas", "Nobody Wants My Heart", and "You". He published a collection of poems, ''A Friend in Fantasy'', in 1964. His ''Hymn to the Americas'' (''Himno a las Américas''), for mixed chorus, soprano, and piano to a Spanish text by his brother-in-law Fernando Flores, a former Costa Rican vice consul, was performed by the National Symphony Orchestra of Washington at the Fourth Inter-American Music Festival in 1968. He married for a third time in 1972 and remained married until his death. He later served as chairman of the board of G. Schirmer, and in 1998 he recorded a reading of Aldous Huxley's ''The Doors of Perception'', whose title, like his early song "Love's Secret", came from William Blake. He died on 19 November 2000. | In 1960 he copyrighted the songs for his musical ''Forty Ways to Sunday'', and between 1961 and 1963 he wrote words and music for songs including "Bluebird", the cycle ''Seven Songs'', "Don't Mention Love Again", "The Gift of Christmas", "Nobody Wants My Heart", and "You".
