Laughing Song for William Blake: A Poem for Three Voices

Further directions/clarifications:

A, B, C = voices; 1, 2, 3 = parts. A, then, reads in the order of parts 1, 2, 3. B reads in the order of 2, 3, 1. C reads 3, 1, 2.

Space denotes a measure of silence (approximately three beats)

Tone/pitch is at the speaker's discretion, from low rumbling laughs to shrill cackles.

* Performed an adaptation of this with about sixty voices at Myrtle Beach conference (we didn't scare away the resort staff, though perhaps some of us tried.
