Here's a poem for March, for Spring, and for Easter now turned into a song, The words were written about a hundred years ago by a largely forgotten Midwestern American poet Edwin Ford Piper. This month I wrote music for Piper's words, and today's piece is taken from a demo session where I recorded the freshly made song.
The Parlando Project does stuff like this: we take words (usually literary poetry) and combine them with original music we write and record. We've done over 700 of these over the years, and you can find them along with more information about this Project at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org
