A lot of people have written original Klingon songs and poems. I have. Be careful though: some of us are protective of our copyrights! I once wrote a Klingon poem in iambic pentameter as part of a qep'a' qaDHom (an informal challenge at a conference). I've got it floating around somewhere; I should upload it to my website. I also wrote one in alliterative verse: http://www.trimboli.name/klingon/ghuHmoHQoQ.html I have not set either to music. KLINGON FOR THE GALACTIC TRAVELER (ISBN 978-0671009953) has a lot of information on Klingon music, including the fact that it's usually in a nonatonic scale: http://www.kli.org/wiki/index.php?nonatonic%20scale -- SuStel Stardate 9022.9 To unsubscribe from this list, send mail to lojban-list-request@lojban.org with the subject unsubscribe, or go to http://www.lojban.org/lsg2/, or if you're really stuck, send mail to secretary@lojban.org for help.
