Melopoeia is an ancient art whose Greek name—a combination of melos (“melody”) and poiein (“to make,” root of the word poeta, “maker,” and poetria, “poetry”) suggests its nature: a performance involving poetry recited to a musical accompaniment. The poetry is spoken. The two arts flow separately, through and around each other, without either becoming dominant over the other.
