Word painting is the musical technique of composing music that reflects the literal meaning of a song's lyrics.
This page is a gallery of word painting lyrics for xenharmonic songs.
It also includes a section for songs that use other esoteric theory (e.g. xenrhythmic, or using rare scales or timbres).
Add examples that occur in actual scores or recordings in the "real world examples" sections.
Write your own hypothetical examples in the "hypothetical" section. Only add them there if you give others permission to use them. Remember that the wiki is in the creative commons, so original writing on the wiki can be reused for free by anyone.
