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.
