Four Works combined into one book in order to save money...{Plus a Bonus Book} -Musical Quotes from Some Famous People. -'Some Twenty and One Poemas'. -Lyrics are NOT Poems -The Spontaneous Effusions of Robert Mulderrig. -What? More Spontaneous Effusions from Robert Mulderrig {Bonus Edition}. ------------------- "Musical Quotes from Some Famous People"; The Author has picked up these simple and mindful quotes "All Along The Way", whilst on His Sojourn upon Terra Firma. From Bach to Beethoven, Chopin and Copland, Durante to Goethe, Hugo and an Italian Proverb. From Landon to Longfellow, Luther, Martin, Mendelssohn, & Moore. Including Mulderrig, Napoleon, Odetta and Plato: lest we forget Schnable, Schwab, Smith & Stern, and of course Toscanini. ------------- "The Spontaneous Effusions of Robert Mulderrig" are a group on one-line Quips, Off-the-Cuff Remarks, and Delusional Personal Misquotes that contain within them The Wisdom of One Man's Journey upon Terra Firma. Like Artesian Springs that Forcibly Erupt with-out Afore-Warning; from Deep below The Conscience Horizon; That-Which-Is, is rarely Hidden from an Open Mind, a Full Heart, & The Spirit of The Quantum Continuum... Once Seen; Never Forgotten; Once Heard; Always Sung; Once Sung; Forever Upon The Winds that Cross The Eternal Sky. . . "Without The Hub, there is no Wheel." "The Lone Ant has more purpose on this Earth than does The Fool." "Public is where crazy people go to practice acting normal." -------------- "Lyrics are NOT Poems " is a written document using Lyrics from Robert J. Mulderrig as Examples of how Lyrics & Poetry are NOT the same. One is with The Music, the other cannot, such is The Essence of The Mysteries. Long before The Spoken, and written word, The Song has filled The Wind with its purposeful beauty. As a child, I "came up with Tunes" for no apparent reason, or cause. Without a Cause, no Effect? Perhaps, but with each Affect, there is Causation; and thusly The Path of One's Life is altered... ---------------- The creation of 'Twenty One and One Half Poemas' was purely a Happenstance. Born to a Mother, Grandmother, and Great Grand Mother whom wrote Poerty, it was enevitable that Robert, too, would create such Works. Here they, Off-The-Cuff, printed as Written, and without Edits... --------------- What? More Spontaneous Effusions from Robert Mulderrig {Bonus Edition}. Just another group of one-line Quips, Off-the-Cuff Remarks, and Delusional Personal Misquotes that contain within them The Wisdom of One Man's Journey upon Terra Firma. --------------- Focusing on the Authoring of "Melopoeia: A Treatise concerning The Art of Composing Melodies" took hold of his attention full-time in late 2012. By the time he "Released-The-Ink", and within 108 days, The Work was completed. Editing took far longer than hoped, or expected, with the completion arriving in the summer of 2016. Three and a half years, and eighteen songs later, The Work, encouraged by a Life-Time of devotion, is ready for The World at large. No other Treatise, written by a Composer, for his Fellow Composers, will ever compare with "Melopoeia: A Treatise concerning The Art of Composing Melodies." ...Enjoy...

I get Bored some times, betweenResearching and Composing and Performing.One fine day I quickly wrote a poem.Just off the cuff, just for fun. Steam-Conscience type, ya know? Well, it happened again, and again...My mother, and hers, had written poetry all their lives and they couldn't figure out why I did not...I wrote Lyrics Go figure.Well, after 21 I stopped. Started to write one more, but The Muse had vanished.Such is Life.
Lyraphonakousmato: It all starts with an Utterance. Be it short or long, it has to contain inside of itself the reflections of the universal will that created it. Somewhere in The 1970's, I heard about an old Russian School of Thought that had something to do with how Words and Music work together. At the time I did not have any idea what was being imparted onto my youthful ears. As I began to set my words to my Music I found that some types of words just did not "Sit-Well" with The Tune. I attempted upon many occasions to recall "That School of Thought", but to no fortune. Trips to The Library (this was long before "The Internet-of-Things") found not a single trace of what I sought. There was no True Treatise on the subject. I asked around school and college and random Musicians, but still nothing. What little I could remember was that, before The First World War, Russia had a Great Musical Heritage that had been Literarily Burn by The Communists and their ilk. I read some Tzarist History and inquired with Librarians, still nothing. I never gave up, and over the course of Forty years each time I composed a "New Song", I kept in mind this concept: The Sonority of the Pronunciation of The Lyric is imbued by, and with, The Harmonic Structure of The Music. Sad Songs need sad Tonalities, whilst Happy require Joyful Modalities. Seems simple enough, but... The relationships between Word-Tone, Speech-Sound, and Musical-Meaning are of The Essences in Sonic-Communications.
