At the New Year

Parlando - Where Music and Words Meet

Kenneth Patchen wrote this poem sometime before the middle of the 20th century, but it seemed so apt today that I felt that I had to sing it as a statement for the end of our year.

The Parlando Project combines various words (mostly literary poetry) with original music in differing styles. We've done over 800 of these combinations, and you can hear all of them and read about our experiences with the words at the Project's archives and blog located at frankhudson.org
