emmaluv+2more Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Has anyone ever created (or found) a course on music as poetry and actually used it as a literature course (I have found music literature college courses that count it as a fine art, which is not what I'm thinking in this case)? I'm imagining a comparison of poetry and song lyrics: ease of interpretation, tone, literary devices used, inflection, tempo, rhythm, etc. The thought of doing this for my DD just hit me this evening and I think it could be really fun, interesting, inspiring, and educational. I'm sure there are other people much more capable of creating such a class, so I was hoping to find at least a skeleton to follow. Any ideas?

jaredluvsjoanie Posted January 15, 2018 Share Posted January 15, 2018 I don't know of a course that addresses this specifically, but I think it is a fantastic idea! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clemsondana Posted January 18, 2018 Share Posted January 18, 2018 I've never seen that, but, after working through MCT's town-level poetry book, my son (who has no sense of rhythm) came home from a church karaoke thing and informed me that there was anapest and dactyl in the songs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
