Finnegans Wake
André Hodeir composed a jazz cantata on Anna Plurabelle (1966). John Cage's "Roaratorio: an Irish circus on Finnegans Wake" combines a collage of sounds mentioned in "Finnegans Wake", with Irish jigs and Cage reading his "Writing for the Second Time through Finnegans Wake", one of a series of five writings based on the "Wake". The work also sets textual passages from the book as songs, including "The Wonderful Widow of Eighteen Springs" and "Nowth upon Nacht". Phil Minton set passages of the "Wake" to music, on his 1998 album "Mouthfull of Ecstasy". Thornton Wilder's "The Skin of Our Teeth" uses many devices from "Finnegans Wake", such as a family that represents the totality of humanity, cyclical storytelling, and copious Biblical allusions. In recent years Olwen Fouéré's play "riverrun", based on the theme of rivers in "Finnegans Wake" has received critical accolades around the world. Adam Harvey has also adapted "Finnegans Wake" for the stage. Martin Pearlman's three-act "Finnegan's Grand Operoar" is for speakers with an instrumental ensemble. In 2015 "Waywords and Meansigns: Recreating Finnegans Wake [in its whole wholume]" set "Finnegans Wake" to music unabridged, featuring an international group of musicians and Joyce enthusiasts.
