Here's a rather perplexing question: When composing, which do you feel should come first? Lyric
I currently write lyrics for two different composers. The first, prefers me to write the lyrics first. The results I find, is more fluid and rhythmic. Like poetry set to music.
With the second composer, he feels the music must come first. I'm instructed as to how many syllables per line. What vowel it should end in.Where the rhyme and inner-rhyme should fall. The result is a less poetic but very dramatic piece. And every musician reading it has asked "how were you able to match syllables with notes so perfectly?"
Keep in mind that these arias are all for opera only. Please let me know if you are a musician or writer or have ever composed.
I appreciate your thoughts.

Here's a rather perplexing question: When composing, which do you feel should come first? Lyrics or Music?concert ticketsWell, I do not compose with lyrics (yet) I hope to do so in the future when I find some poems, or words that really get me.
But when I do begin, I think that finding the words will help you better construct the song.
Most lyrical works, such as Debussy's, are created, for the most part, after the poem/lyrics are written. Debussy, like I said, was a great composer who used a lot of poems to construct his works.
Examples include, but not limited to: Beau Soir, and Clair de Lune.
