"A colleague suggested that I look into the poetry of the songs of Bob Dylan. Having not yet listened to the songs, I decided to send away for the texts only... and found many of them to be every bit as beautiful and as immediate as I had heard - and surprisingly well-suited to my own musical language...I intended to treat the Dylan lyrics as the poems I found them to be. Nor would their settings make any attempt at pop or rock writing. I wanted to take poertry I knoew to be strongly associated with popular art and readdress it in terms of concert art - crossover in the opposite direction, one might say. Dylan granted his permision, and I set to work. - John Corigliano Price: $19.98 |
