Quote:
Albert, Stephen
To Wake the Dead; TreeStone; Symphony RiverRun, Flower of the Mountain, Sun's Heat & Ecce puer
Until his untimely death robbed America of one of her most promising young composers, Stephen Albert used the texts of Joyce as inspiration for numerous song cycles and a Pulitzer-prize winning symphony.
Arnaoudov, Gheorghi
FOOTNOTE (...und Isolde/ns Winkfall lassen...)
A Bulgarian composer of haunting, ritualistic music, FOOTNOTE is an "imaginary interlude" to Tristan und Isolde with a text based on Joyce's "Prayer."
Barber, Samuel
Nine Joyce Songs
This twentieth-century Romantic crafted nine songs based on Joyce texts, from Chamber Music poems to adaptations pulled from Finnegans Wake.
Berio, Luciano
Chamber Music; Thema: Ommagio a Joyce; Outis
Of the generation of Stockhausen and Cage, Berio was one of Italy's most talented and beloved avant-garde composers, and has taken Joyce as his muse for several pieces.
Boulez, Pierre
Third Piano Sonata; Répons
The inimitable French modernist composer and conductor credits Joyce as an inspiration for his spiralling, labyrinthine structures.
Cage, John
The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs; Roaratorio; An Alphabet; Nowth Upon Nacht
"Wonderful Widow" and "Nowth" are songs adapted from Finnegans Wake. Roaratorio is a very interesting composition; it blends traditional Irish music with a constant barrage of sound effects inspired from the text, all woven around Cage's reading of lines from the Wake chosen to endlessly spell out the mesostic "JAMESJOYCE." An Alphabet is a radio play featuing James Joyce as a character.
Citkowitz, Israel
Five Songs from "Chamber Music"
(1930) For voice and piano.
Del Tredici, David
Four Songs on Poems of James Joyce; Two Songs on Poems of James Joyce; I Hear an Army; Night Conjure-Verse; Syzygy
Winner of the 1980 Pulitzer Prize, this American Neo-Romantic tapped Joyce for several works before turning to Lewis Carroll as a muse.
Finney, Ross Lee
Chamber Music
A student of Alban Berg, this composer set the whole Chamber Music cycle of poems to music in the early fifties.

Lauer, Elizabeth
Seven Songs on Poems of James Joyce
An American composer of chamber music and songs, Lauer set a few poems from "Chamber Music" to piano and mezzo-soprano.
Lerdahl, Fred
Wake
For soprano, harp, string trio, and percussion, this very unusual piece of "post-Schoenbergian atonal romanticism" takes text from the ALP chapter of Finnegans Wake and arranges it to encompass the whole of the Wake.
Luening, Otto
Joyce songs
An American who befriended Joyce in Zurich, Luening -- who later pioneered electronic music and co-founded the CRI label -- set a few of Joyce's texts to songs.
Marsh, Roger
Not a Soul but Ourselves...
A professor at York, Marsh based this piece for voice and amplification on the ALP chapter of Finnegans Wake.
Mendes, Gilberto
Ulysses in Copacabana Surfing with James Joyce and Dorothy
Lamour
This Brazilian composer studied under Boulez and Stockhausen, but was influenced by Villa-Lobos and bossa nova. He certainly wins the award for the best Joycean title!
Rands, Bernard
Canti Lunatici
This labyrinthine work for text, voice, and music from the Pulitzer Prize winning Rand features Joyce's lunar poem, "Simples."
Reynolds, Roger
Voicespace III: "Eclipse"
Another Pulizer Prize winner, Reynolds made this 1979 composition for voice and tape, using texts by Issa, Melville, Stevens, Joyce, Borges, and García Márquez.
Rosenblum, Mathew
Maggies
An eclectic and non-traditional American composer, Rosenblum's Maggies is a Wake-inspired piece that combines live instrumental music with ambient sounds and pre-recorded texts by Barthelme, Lish, and a pastiche of the Wake by Roger Zahab.
Takemitsu, Toru
A way a lone; Far calls. Coming, far!; A way a lone II; Riverrun
One of Japan's greatest composers, Takemitsu wrote several works mining the first-and-last paragraph of Finnegans Wake for inspiration.
