GUEST,Hoot & Fidget	Lyr Req: Absolutely Clear (poem by Hafiz) (26)	RE: Help: 'Perfectly Clear' by Hafiz	30 Mar 01
Oops... The line that says "Let it ferment and cease in you," Should be "Let it ferment and season you," As far as setting it to music well...it's an intriguing idea. One idea that comes immediatly to mind would be an interweaving of the poem with something else; perhaps an interpretation of the poem. Maybe tones a la Sheila Chandra, but I have no training and not much familiarity with the Karnatic or Hindustani traditions. It would be nice to have accompaniement (sp?) and so maybe a simple drone on a harmonium or concertina. Or maybe just one "hollow" chord on a guitar or even a single string. Minimalist seems to be the way to go on this. Is this a tolerable path or am I completely from Mars?
