The Pumpkin

19th Century American "Fireside Poet" John Greenleaf Whittier wrote a Thanksgiving ode to pumpkin pie. I took the conclusion of his poem and made this little song out of it. The Parlando Project combines various words (mostly literary poetry) with original music in differing styles. We've done over 850 of these compositions, and you can hear any of them and read about our encounter with the words at our blog and archives, located at frankhudson.org
