8h ago10:20

10:20

A change of pace for this Project: I adapted a short story by the British master of the subtle supernatural into a 10-minute audio play. So, sit back and enjoy as The Parlando Project Theatre of the Air presents Walter de la Mare's story of a man with a problem: he can see something past the Samhain veil. How will his two friends react to what he t…

The Song of Finis 1:47

2d ago1:47

1:47

When it comes to the poetic-spooky presented though inference and understatement, Walter de la Mare is a master; so I wanted to get this poem of his turned into a song in time for our Halloween series. The Parlando Project combines various words (mostly literary poetry) with original music in differing styles. We've done over 750 of these combinati…

Edgar Allan Poe's poem has been turned into a song as part of our Halloween series featuring fantasy and supernatural poems this year.

The Puca 2:32

8d ago2:32

2:32

Our Halloween series continues. Irish poet Joseph Campbell has a twist on the idea of a goblin spirit casting a spell on a human. In this encounter, a downhearted man comes upon a puca, and the human's dissatisfaction and weariness changes the goblin. I came upon this poem, and now I've changed it into a song. The Parlando Project takes words (most…

Shadwell Stair 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…

The House of Ghosts 5:16

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…

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

22d 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

27d 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

1M 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

1M 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

1M ago2:27

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…

Quiet Night Thoughts 1:57

1:57

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…

Heaven and Hail 3:26

2M ago3:26

3:26

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. The Parlando Project combines various words (usually literary poetry) with original …

At the Threshold 2:58

2M 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

2M 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

3M 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. The Parlando Project is largely about performing other people's words (mostly literary poetry) with original music in various styles, but for this August observance I used a poem I myself wrote abo…

Sara Teasdale again: Advice to a Girl 1:48

Be Angry at the Sun 2:36

4M ago2:36

It's a poem, but in it Robison Jeffers wants to deliver a speech about political speech. I may not agree with Jeffers aims at the moment he wrote his poem, but I can feel the frustration he speaks of. You might too. The Parlando Project combines various words (usually literary poetry) with original music in various styles. We've done over 750 of th…

As far from pity, as complaint 2:41

Emily Dickinson's in a goth mood again, but she makes such things sound lovely, so we sing her poem of everlasting nature and non-everlasting life today.

Gone 2:41

4M ago2:41

2:41

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…

For Juneteenth, a song from the 1860s written by George F. Root, a white songwriter, depicting an enslaved mother sending her child to the Union lines alone for freedom.

John Sinclair writes 2 poems of Thelonious Monk 2:05

6M ago2:05

2:05

John Sinclair (who died during this National Poetry Month) did a lot of things in his life, generating so many stances and actions that I suspect no one can agree with all of it. But one thing he did throughout his life was write Jazz Poetry, and so for International Jazz Day this year I thought I'd seek out and perform a couple of his poems. The P…

The Fairies Have Never a Penny to Spend 2:04

2:04

Rose Fyleman wrote charming and popular children's poems in the early 20th century, like this one. I set her poem for performance in a jaunty rock'n'roll trio as I approach the end of my National Poetry Month look-back at poems aimed at children in the first half of the 20th century. The Parlando Project combines various words (mostly literary poet…

Dover Beach 3:56

6M ago3:56

3:56

I continue to examine poems from a pair of books of verse meant for the children who grew up to become "The Greatest Generation." This one's not a sunny day holiday for the kids: Matthew Arnold's at the beach, he puts a seashell to his ear, and hears....the future, or perhaps time itself, and it's harrowing. The Parlando Project takes various words…

Pippa Passes 1:58

6M ago1:58

1:58

A short Spring poem with a famous ending couplet that seems to be about contentment -- and after all, I found it inside a 1922 book of verse for children I'm looking at for National Poetry Month. In the context of the longer work Browning placed it in, it may not be that simple, but I perform it today as if it was. The Parlando Project combines var…

For National Poetry Month this year I've been looking at poems from a pair of 1920s books of verse for children.

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…

The Coromandel Fishers 2:40

7M ago2:40

2:40

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." Naidu began as a promising poet ("The Nightengale of India") but left verse to for work for women's suffrage and Indian independence. The Parlando Pro…

The World Is Too Much With Us 2:04

William Wordsworth's well-known sonnet performed, as the word sonnet means, as a little song. Within the next 24 hour or so, I hope to have more to say about what you may have overlooked in this short poem on the Parlando Project's blog (see below). We've got a lot at the blog celebrating poetry and National Poetry Month. The Parlando Project combi…

The Minstrel Boy 2:14

7M ago2:14

2:14

For National Poetry Month this year I'm looking at and performing poems found in a pair of 1920s anthologies of verse for children. The Girls of Verse and The Boys Book of Verse. Though "The Minstrel Boy" was included within books of poetry, this poem by Irish poet Thomas Moore was quicky adapted as a song and is best known as such today. Which sav…

Each in His Own Tongue 2:29

7M ago2:29

Today I read a summary of poet Mary Oliver's approach by poet and critic A. M. Juster. He concluded: "I also think her spirit wanted to write religious poetry, but her mind wouldn't let her." Lo & behold I was working this week on a singable version of this 1906 poem that I found in a collection of verse for children published in the 1920s that I'm…

Piping Down the Valleys Wild 2:33

7M ago2:33

My feature this National Poetry Month is going to be examination of two 1920's poetry anthologies, one for girls and one for boys. This William Blake poem invoking childhood visions bringing joy was in the opening section of the girl's volume and it seems like an apt poem to set to music and lead off our celebration this month. The Parlando Project…

Singing at Dusk 2:33

7M ago2:33

2:33

Emmy Hemmings is a forgotten Dada artist, launching the famous Cabaret Voltaire during WWI as am organizer, performer and poet -- yet no one translated her poetry from German until this century. I just got done doing a somewhat free translation of one of her poems, and since Hennings was a performer, it seems fitting to present her work here in the…
