Exploring the interplay between poetry and music, Joseph Noble's collection features improvisational poems inspired by composers and their works, as well as the rhythms of music itself. His lines reflect the Baroque's seconda practica, where musical form aligns with lyrical meaning. Following the Orphic muse, Noble traverses music's evolution, emphasizing sound and vibration as fundamental to language. This work builds on his previous exploration of Charles Ives, showcasing a unique blend of auditory perception and poetic rhythm.
