Additional notes:
Four volumes, one for each voice and a colophon. Each volume folds out from a central well to form its own lectern in order to be read by the three performers. All three voices are printed in each of the three parts. In each part, one of the three voices is foregrounded in black, with the other voices underprinted in ochre and blue. This enables each reader to follow all the parts and allows all readers to make their entraces on cue. The score consists of words, not notes, but it functions like the score for a string trio. Housed in an elaborate box.
