Creative Endeavors / Piano & poetry

« on: May 15, 2012, 05:32:31 pm »

Soo, I have this assignment to turn a poem into a song. Meaning, the poem lines become the lyrics and the music needs to be written. But, I know absolutely NOTHING about playing piano let alone writing piano music.
So, since there are so many very talented piano players on this site, I thought some of you may be able to help me
I have the first line of notes I would like to use but I don't have any set tempo or anything yet. Also, the dash marks are the syllables I'd like to last just slightly longer when singing. Anyways, here's the poem:


Someday- in a crow-ded place-
CGFECGE
I'll see- your old- famil-iar face
 
Yes, you'll- be old- and so will I-
 
And hindsight- will have made us wise-
 
And stones- that used to weigh- so much
 
Will simply- topple at the touch-
 
But through our aged- eyes- I will see
 
You- young- and strong- and you'll see me
 
Still wild- and beautiful- and free-
 

(the poem is I...I...I... From Anna Nalick's blog, in case you were wondering )

Anybody heard her? I think she's pretty good. She released her first album not too long ago, The Art In My Heart. She plays like, a billion instruments too haha.
I went to her concert today actually and she sounded amazing, she's so sweet too. She stayed for hours after the show to meet everyone and have pictures taken and sign things. It was really cute.

Seriously, if you haven't heard her, you should look her up
