This kind of piece was produced with something like Bach’s “themes and variations” in mind. As in a Bach fugue, there are several voices and they all seemingly say familiar things, but amid those voices lies an additional voice, an unheard voice—one can only emerge as the result of various personae or voices in an active dialogue.
Technically, verse 6 and 7 are the product of that dialogue.
I feel like Edgar Allan Poe really pioneered these exploration of a poetic like, much like a musical theme. He narrowed the barriers between song and poetry in a new way, or should I say brought them closer?
Many of the Modern Dreams are meditations on the intimate relationship between music and poetry, and their composition.
Excellent and thought provoking. Some of my dreams are reruns, other some are something new and different. I always look forward to them, but sometimes look forward to them ending. Thank you for posting.
I like verses 6 and 7. They could easily be presented as a poem on their own. And gain in power. Without anything being lost.
