Parlando - Where Music and Words Meet

Here's a playful and mysterious Emily Dickinson poem for World Poetry Day. The Parlando Project enlists The LYL Band in this one to create a full-band folk-rock song out of Dickinson's poem.

The Parlando Project has done that sort of thing for several years, taking words (usually literary poetry) and combining them with music in different styles. We have over 700 of those combinations available at our archives with some additional writing about our experiences with the poems, both available at frankhudson.,org
