Sonata Cantata
by Jody PrattWas today Mozart to rise
and craft songs to our lives
would he discard the Orchestra,
favoring dub-step to mandala?
Save the man, peculiar face;
acts like Tesla whilst named Amadeus.
A life in shock, the same tune
in an altered state and place,
whence his music be replaced
with invention over grace.
Instruments encased in history;
a sonata erased musically for,
us to adore his cantata score eternally. 12/20/2011 Posted on 12/21/2011

| Posted by Glenn Currier on 12/26/11 at 06:25 PM I think the young Amadeus and your would have a great time together. Music pulses in your poem - not sure if it is a sonata of some new form invented for a post-modern audience... I enjoyed this. Thanks. |
