Hi-
 
I am new to the list, but since there doesn't seem to be much
going on, I thought I might as well take a chance and post,
and just hope that I'm not too far off topic.
 
I know that Pound copied some of Arnaud's work, with musical
notation--did he attempt to set the works to music, or had
Arnaud made musical notations?
 
I am particularly interested in finding  any information on
the methods that Pound might have used for finding and using
melodies.
 
I am a composer, and am developing a system for teaching
creative skills to songwriters and lyricists.  I rely heavily
on ideas similar to those that Pound had expressed concerning
the relationship between  musical and poetic meters.
 
I have developed a satisfactory methodology for generating
and assigning melodies to rhythmic meter, but it is based on
a minimalist theory (which is very well suited to the needs
of contemporary songwriters), and I am extremely curious as
to how Pound delt with this question.
 
Thanks,
 
Ted
