Free Whirled
Ornette Coleman’s brand of jazz,
Since it was both free and collective,
From his first recordings has
Earned its share of free invective.
Envoi
If your kind of razzmatazz
Has a avant-garde objective,
It’s best to treat the critics as
Just another free perspective.

Samuel Barber (9 March 1910 – 23 January 1981) was an American composer in all the major classical genres.
Comfort Ye
Contented to write in a key,
Young Barber was able to be
Beloved by those
Who detested the throes
That the New Viennese had set free.
