Full article:
Art Garfunkel : In September 1963, I returned from Berkeley, California, where I had spent the summer. Paul had just completed Sparrow and was already working on the third song. With Sparrow begins much of the style that characterizes all the later work. The clarity of the song's structure is matched by the simplicity of its subject. The song is asking: "Who will Love?" Poetic personification is used for the answers: Greed ("the oak tree"), Vanity ("the swan"), Hypocrisy ("the wheat"). I was greatly impressed with Sparrow, and I arranged the two songs for us. We sang at Folk City that night and formed the partnership.
Art Garfunkel : I've been at University now for about seven years. I'm in the graduate school there now but when I was an undergraduate I took quite a few music courses, one of which got me very involved in 16th century music. And I researched, one week in the library, a two-part setting of a benedictus from the church mass, originally done by Orlando de Lasso and brought it for the two of us to do. We rewrote the two parts and added guitar chords to it and put it into our first album for Columbia.
