The Art of Poetry; Monday, First Period [03/21].
"Welcome back, ducklings ♥." Once again, there was that comfortable ring of pillows on which to sit, cups of a nice fragrant tea being poured and passed around, and a teacher with a sleepy smile to get things going that morning. "Hopefully, you remembered your assignment from last week to bring in a song or some lyrics you're rather fond of, and, if not, well, I'm sure you can make up something on the spot ♥. Music is such a vast and eccelctic thing that we can all just assume we've simply never heard of your rare and obscure pick ♥. And since you are both quite clever, I'm sure you've figured out that today, we'll be talking a bit about music as poetry, buth in the composition and the lyrical sense ♥.
"Now, allow me, ducklings, to propose to you a question: does music need lyrics to be considered poetry ♥? Poetry, after all, is entirely based on words, is it not? But isn't poetry also based on feelings and emotions ♥? There is no denying that a well-composed piece of music can easily evoke in us the same kind of feelings and emotions that a well-written poem can. And a good deal of successful poetry is grounded in the rhythms, in the beats....the music of the words and phrases, if you will ♥. So I do think it is fair to say that music along, even without words, can be poetry, though you may be inclined to disagree." He gave them a faint grin. "In fact, I almost encourage you to try ♥. What about the words by themselves? Or is the music important to garner the right impression ♥. Ancient poetry, after all, especially epics and battles were set to music; do you think that would improve upon them as you know them? What about the repetition found so often in songs; is it too much fo poetry? Would it weight it down? All very good questions that we may choose to explore today without own selections. ♥
"So let us finally," Shunsui's smile was almost apologetic there, for making them have to do something so tedious as listen to a lecture in a classroom, "get to those songs you've brought in, and we'll have a closer look at their musicality, their poetry, and where the two shall come to meet ♥."
