Thus integrating the fields of music and literature. Here now to give us poetry in song is Hobart metal art expression and every form is of importance to us because each piece of music or literature or painting or sculpture tells us something about man and about ourselves. It contains a reaction of mankind to his life and to his environment. It can stimulate our thoughts and feelings. It can help us to see or hear in life what we have been blind and deaf to before it can release in US feelings and thoughts which we might not otherwise be able to
express at all or at least not so fully and well. All of us are likely to be too casual about our works seeking idle entertainment from them when we should hear and see in them what their creator is saying. Our demands alertness and participation of the viewer and listener demands in the fields of song and of literature that we remember the poet and the composer and hear songs is the product of their need to express themselves as spiritual like H.T. Burley's arrangement of Heaven Heaven is perhaps the easiest type of song to relate to the human need for expression. Yet we are even too inclined to consider spirituals as just rhythm songs.

I was so sick. Oh well.
Clarence Thomas did sending of Christina Rossetti is come to me reveals clearly it seems to me much a composer can deepen and intensify a poem when he makes it into a song. Or song.
With all. The literature of song has a great deal to offer to us if we will hear it as human
expression rather than as a means for vocal display or for musical sonorities and rhythms. If we will listen with awareness of the point and interior meaning of the songs that are song such a song is HD Burley's arrangement of hear the lambs are crying and have great religious meaning for us. If we will listen for what lies within the melody and rhythm and words of the song. So. You. Do.
I sure. Do. I love. You.
