Detailed explanation-1: -The project was organized in 2014 to set James Joyce’s Finnegans Wake, arguably his most complicated book, to music. “You can hear the text in so many different ways-there’s German and Gaelic, catechisms and Vedic sutras, all embedded in the text, and you can pull out whatever elements catch your fancy.”
Detailed explanation-2: -James Joyce once famously said that if it took him seventeen years to write Finnegans Wake, then a reader should take seventeen years to read it. In his usual prophetic way, he turned out to be exactly right.
Detailed explanation-3: -Famously, the title of the book is a portmanteau word. At one level, it refers to an Irish pub song called “Finnegan’s Wake” (or “The Ballad of Tim Finnegan"), about the funeral of a man named Finnegan who fell off a ladder. It can also mean “in the wake of Finnegan, ” that is, everything post-Finnegan.
