Data about the life of the work: From the composer's apology: "There may be giggles in the chorus during the preparation of this work ... However, the arrangement is intended in all seriousness, and the work with its meaningless syllables does express a sense of the tangled inarticulate struggle it is to give meaning to anything in music, in poetry, in any art, in life.
