Shadwell Stair 3:07

1d ago3:07

3:07

Is this a Halloween piece? I'm not sure, but the poem, one of Wilfred Owen's strangest, says it's being sung by a ghost. My musical setting here is one of my orchestral ones. The Parlando Project takes various words (mostly literary poetry) and sets them to original music in differing styles. We've done over 750 of these combinations, and you can h…

Here's a fresh translation into English of a poem by Rainer Maria Rilke performed with original music as our Halloween series continues this October. The Parlando Project takes various words (mostly literary poetry) and combines them with music we create and record. We've released over 750 of these pieces over the years, and you can hear any and al…

5:16

Here's the next song in our Halloween series, this time with words I adapted from a poem by Margaret Widdemer. Just like last time, someone's at the door, but this time they let themselves in and the song is the story of what they find inside. The Parlando Project combines various words (mostly literary poetry) with original music in differing styl…

The Witch 3:38

Starting a Halloween series for this year with this supernatural poem by Mary Coleridge that I've now turned into a song.

The Wind Began to Rock 4:48

10d ago4:48

4:48

Here's a poetic narrative that you could call : started early, took my shaggy dog. A storm builds to a deluge and then ends with an escape, all the while, a rock band with three guitars pelts the music. Emily Dickinson rocks! This is an example of what the Parlando Project does: we take words (mostly literary poetry) and combine them with original …

Nature Can Do No More Blues (after a poem by Emily Dickinson) 2:04

16d ago2:04

2:04

Here I take inspiration from a late, short poem by Emily Dickinson and redo it as a bottleneck-slide guitar Blues. My sense of her original gnomic poem was that Dickinson was writing of Autumn's end of the growing season with the knowledge that this close of a yearly cycle is a phase that will be followed by another Summer. The Parlando Project pre…

Words like Blades 2:41

Once more in this late September series, I turn a mysterious Emily Dickinson poem into a song. This one accompanied with a sparce trio of 12-string guitar, tambura, and viola. The Parlando Project has done over 750 of these new musical combinations of various words (usually literary poetry) with music we compose and record. You can find more of the…

My Life had stood a Loaded Gun 3:12

23d ago3:12

3:12

I'm celebrating Emily Dickinson this week, and this is a poem, extraordinary even for her, the tragic story of a faithful gun. Since this is the Parlando Project I took Dickinson's poem and turned into a strange little song. That's what the Project does and has done over 750 times. We take various words (usually literary poetry) and combine them wi…

I Sing to Use the Waiting 2:21

25d ago2:21

2:21

Another Emily Dickinson setting where my music seeks to bring out the strangeness that sits in-between some of her poems' lines. This lesser-known Dickinson poem might be paired with her "Because I could not stop for Death." She's singing here before the carriage arrives. For more than 750 other combinations of various words (mostly literary poetry…

The Day Undressed Herself 2:27

I'm planning a short series of Emily Dickinson poems combined with a variety of original music as I look forward to spending next week attending (online) a number of events in the Emily Dickinson Museum's Tell It Slant festival. Today's example is a musical setting for acoustic steel-string guitar of a poem portraying a day's sunset viewed in an in…

Each year on September 18th I do something to commemorate composer and guitarist Jimi Hendrix. This year I set this famous short poem by classical Chinese poet Li Bai. Later this morning I'll post more about thoughts on how this poet and that musician might fit together. This just one example of what the Parlando Project does: we combine various wo…

The Parlando Project is less often able to present the live rock band performances that it started out with, but here's a little piece from one of those performances, one telling about the aftermath of a large hail and high-wind storm that struck in August of 2023.

At the Threshold 2:58

1M ago2:58

2:58

Late 19th century American poet Richard Hovey translated many French Symbolist poems; but this sonnet, published in a posthumous collection, is apparently Hovey's own work in French under the title "Au Seuil." Hovey's poem considers dying and the possibility of a judgement and afterlife. I translated Hovey's French into English for this musical per…

Isabel 2:10

1M ago2:10

2:10

Here's a short love poem by written for the 1894 Songs From Vagabondia by Richard Hovey. This book found favor with young men in its day for eschewing moral uplift and earnest toil to write instead of wine, women, and joyful travels. The Parlando Project combines various words (usually literary poetry) with original music in differing styles. We've…

Down the Songo - Summer: Still Rowing, Still Dreaming 4:10

2M ago4:10

4:10

Labor Day weekend in America is often the occasion for end of Summer activities. In this poem from the 1894 Songs from Vagabondia, poet Richard Hovey rows down a river in Maine connecting a lake and ponds. What does he find? The sense that Summer feels like a dream. The Parlando Project combines various words (usually literary poetry) with original…

The Mote: A 19th Century SF Prose Poem 3:31

2M ago3:31

3:31

Pioneering Canadian poet Bliss Carman included this fantastic prose poem in his breakthrough 1894 collection "Songs from Vagabondia." Is it the slightly intoxicated wonder-talk of two tipsy young men, or the account of two angels playing with the universe? That Carman seems to have designed that blurring makes for an interesting 19th century SciFi …

The Two Bobbies 2:07

2M ago2:07

2:07

Pioneering Canadian poet Bliss Carman's break-through collection was called Songs of Vagabondia, a popular 1894 book which extoled the adventurous and sensuous life. In this selection he jauntingly compares Robert Burns and Robert Browning. The Parlando Project combines various words (usually literary poetry) with original music in different styles…

O But My Delicate Lover 2:27

2M ago2:27

2:27

Ancient Greek poet Sappho's poetry survives in fragments and spaces, but in 1904 a Canadian poet imagined Sappho's poems as if they were complete. The audacity of that project undertaken by Bliss Carman must be conceded, but the results can be judged on their own merits. The Greeks said that Sappho's poems were sung with lyre music, and the Parland…

August 6th is the 8th anniversary of the launch of the Parlando Project — but it is also the 23rd anniversary of my late wife's death and Hiroshima Day.

Today's musical setting is Carl Sandburg's short ambiguous poem about a strong-dreaming woman. The reader is left to decide, why the poem's Chick Lorimer is gone. Has she left with her flags flying high? Or is the poem's seeming praise of many lovers and her uninhibited nature hiding a more complex relationship with the town? As a singing performer…

I continue to examine poems from a pair of books of verse meant for the children who grew up to become "The Greatest Generation."

Hills: Children's poetry, but written by a child 2:34

6M ago2:34

2:34

To observe this National Poetry Month I've been diving into a pair of poetry anthologies for children published in the 1922/1923. One poet included in them was an unusual case: Hilda Conkling, a child herself. That this grade-schooler was composing poems that often seemed to share Imagism's approaches intrigued some Modernists. Here's one of her po…

Sarojini Naidu's poem of stalwart Bengali fishermen asked to be sung, so I sang it. The author may have had a melody in mind, as she published this in a section of her poetry she called "Folk Songs."
