Thread Name: songs by e.e.cummings
Subject: RE: e.e.cummings
The original "all in green went my love riding" set by Peter Schickele was on Joan Baez/"Baptism: A Journey Through Our Time", Vanguard (VSD79275)--I've got the vinyl version from my youth.
Vincent Persichetti set another e.e. cummings poem to music: "sam was a man".
And I've been singing "anyone lived in a pretty how town" to the shaped-note tune of Jefferson. (The tune fits very well, but it's NOT an easy poem to memorize!)
