APPENDIX


The Concept And Relationship Between Poetry And
Music

Literature.
Definition:

This is basically a written document, message, idea, story etc.  There are three basic parts of literature, thus poetry, prose and drama. These parts work hand in hand to achieve what is called literature
The art of creation, thus bringing ones imaginations and thoughts  into reality, so that it is packaged in a way  that society can learn for the benefit of society, and also in other to preserve culture  and civilization for future generation. The basics of  human civilization is information, i.e. to keep records or history through arts, poetry, prose, drama etc. so without literature, i.e. being able to read and write, we stand at risk in surviving as people. And it will be very difficult to for life in the future, since the past culture and history will be erased and not be in existence.

POETRY

This is basically a type of literature which is a piece of or short written lyrics, story or message which is well arranged and rhymes in other to give it a creative touch. It could be an ode, epic, sonnet, Habakkuk etc. this is also divided into two main types, thus written and oral poetry, which are the spoken words.

WRITTEN POETRY

This is a type of literature which is basically a piece of information, lyrics, story or message which is well arranged and rhymes in other to give it a creative touch. It could be an ode, sonnet, epic and so on which talks about love, nature, life, law, faith, freedom etc. the theme, subject, background and the idea of which the poem is derived from is the main instrument or element which makes the writer very creative and his work very special than other works. Written poetry is sometimes used in prose to make it very innovative and creative. And because it is written, it makes it visible and that feel also make it very special.

ORAL POETRY

This is also known as spoken words. With this, the theme, the background, the idea is needed, but what makes it very special and classical is the arrangement of the lyrics, the rhymes and syllabus. When all these come together they create a unique sound, and this sound it created becomes music. Thus when reciting the poems, one might stress on the syllabus and rhymes which then becomes a rhythm.
And it becomes a form of music when it is given a beat to go with it. So we can then say this is why poetry is the mother of all music.

MUSIC

This is basically a piece of lyrics which is given a rhythm and beats in other to produce a unique sound on it own. This is made up of the chorus, hook and verse which is also the body of the music. The good music must a theme, a background, and it idea on which it was derived from. But without the rhythm there is no music. So the definition of the art of music is basically on the sound or rhythm it produces. It is the rhythm which makes it very different from poetry and all other performing art, a good poem might be a music when the rhythm is given to a lyrics and a good music might also sound like a poems, when it is well written and arranged.


RHYTHEMATIC AFRICAN   POETRY

Basically, this is the fusion of poetry and music together, thus when both poetry and music are fused together to give a special, classical and unique creativity i.e. art on its own. When a piece of poetry is given a chorus, hook and a rhythm to produce a special and unique sound, i.e. music, then it is called RYTHEMATIC AFRICAN POETRY.  It doesn’t matter  the language, the type of rhythm  or genre of music, but must take it form as chorus, hook and the spoken words to produce a sound or music or to create a unique genre of music or songs.
This doesn’t have to be reggae, hip pop, R&B, pop, jazz etc., but when the spoken words is identified with a chorus, and hook which produce it own sound. Rhythematic African Poetry,  this is what start in the 21st century as rap music and later known as hip pop, but literally it root is what we call rhythematic African Poetry. Because they take the form of chorus, hook and spoken words. But on other for the art to be well established and thought in school, it concept must be clearly identified and defined. For some time it has grown to be one of the best art or musical culture in the world, and most young people’s dream. So it must be professionally thought in school in other to fully acquire the art and skill.
