Question About Proceeding

My sense is that it is alright for me to proceed with recording the Satires, Epistles, and Ars Poetica of Horace ( though: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/5419 ), but I am wondering about a couple of major aspects of proceeding: 1.) Exactly how to divide up the recordings. 2.) Which LibriVox page t...

Re: Satires, Epistles, and Ars Poetica by Horace (Translation by H.R. Fairclough)

I believe I have succeeded in eliminating the background noise! Thank you for your helpful input!

If you would care to listen to my 1-Minute Test on the "Post Your 1-Minute Test Recording Here" page, that would be wonderful.

Many thanks to you, again!

The Satires and Epistles of Quintus Horatius Flaccus (translated by John Conington)

Recognizing that Librivox has already completed recordings of the Satires of Juvenal, I think it only right that we now record the Satires and Epistles of Quintus Horatius Flaccus (a.k.a. Horace), as translated by John Conington, M. A. Here is the Gutenberg link: https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/541...

Thank you! If my neophyte status wasn't obvious before, I suppose that it is now! :D But I've made some important discoveries in the last 24 hours.

Satires, Epistles, and Ars Poetica by Horace (Translation by H.R. Fairclough)

I understand Librivox has already completed recordings of the Satires of Juvenal. I think it only proper that we now record the Satires of Horace, as well as his Epistles and Ars Poetica, as translated by H.R. Fairclough (1862-1938). I have the book in hardcover (a 1936 edition of the Loeb Classical...

Re: Weekly/Fortnightly Poetry Suggestions

I believe James Fenimore Cooper, beloved though he is as a novelist, has been little appreciated for his poetry. I would therefore propose a reading of Cooper's "My Brigantine":
