Subject: RE: Poems set to music
Phil Ochs' setting of Poe's THE BELLS is wonderful. Charles Badger Clark, "The Poet Lariat", many of his poems have been set to tunes;SPANISH IS A LOVING TONGUE, HIGH CHIN BOB, and I set his poem SONG OF THE LEATHERS to music. Some poets writing just call for them to be sung.
