Parlando - Where Music and Words Meet

Our 900th released audio piece: "I reckon, when I count at all"


Listen Later

This is the 900th publicly released Parlando Project piece, an adaptation of a poem by Emily Dickinson about poets and poetry that I set to music in order to perform it. It continues our April National Poetry Month series in that the poem I adapted was from Louis Untermeyer's between-the-world-wars anthology Modern American Poetry.

I plan to write later today about how it feels to have reached 900 pieces, about the adaptations I made with Dickinson's text, about why I choose this poem for this milestone, and how I see the future of this Project. Those reflections will be posted at the Parlando Project blog linked below.

The Parlando Project takes various words (mostly literary poetry) and combines them with original music in differing styles. All of our previous cominations remain available, and you can hear any of them, and read about our encounters with the words at our blog and archives located at frankhudson.org
