Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan A colleague suggested that I look into the poetry of the songs of Bob Dylan. Having not yet listened to the songs, I decided to send away for the texts only ... and found many of them to be every bit as beautiful and as immediate as I had heard-and surprisingly well-suited to my own musical language ... these would be in no way arrangements, or variations, or in any way derivations of the music of the original songs, which I decided to not hear before the cycle was complete ... I intended to treat the Dylan lyrics as the poems I found them to be. Nor would their settings make any attempt at pop or rock writing. I wanted to take poetry I knew to be strongly associated with popular art and readdress it in terms of concert art-crossover in the opposite direction, one might say. Dylan granted his permission, and I set to work. See page 9 for more. Zubin Mehta: L.A.
