Subject: RE: Poems set to music
Francis Scott Key's "Defence of Fort McHenry" set to "The Anacreontic Song" is the "Star Spangled Banner."

Haitian poet Oswald Durand's "Choucoune" was set to a mash-up of carnival music by American ex-pat Mauleart Monton.

Marcy: "Music behind spoken poetry can be really effective….amazing to hear how the music brought the words to life."
