In this episode, I show how setting a poem to music can be guided by the structure of the words, using an example from my latest music theatre work, Agapi and other kinds of love, created with poet and rapper Luka Lesson. I then explain how these students can use this approach as models for their own compositions and music productions, through free education resources I’ve shared. Music is by me, James Humberstone, and Luka Lesson. All text in and concepts for Agapi are by Luka Lesson and remain his copyright.
