Yes, but can you write a poem about it?
Performance Today is commissioning a new poem about a piece of music. This week on Performance Today, we're airing our nominees for the project, and our listeners will choose the winner. Poet C.K. Williams will be writing the poem, to be aired on the show on April 1. Today's nominee is the second movement of Beethoven's seventh symphony, played by the Minnesota Orchestra.
