Composer and lyricist have to work together, trying out various possibilities until both are satisfied. Although Mozart had a brilliant libretto writer in DaPonte and had no trouble fitting his music to the words supplied to him.<br />I've set poetry I love to music. So perhaps text does indeed come first.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14970394694297564485noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3380326694253422719.post-30221974058670753802017-09-24T07:33:11.376+10:002017-09-24T07:33:11.376+10:00You're so right about the differences between ...You're so right about the differences between song lyrics and poetry and prose.
