Observations
- Cette œuvre a été enregistrée et figure sur l'album eL/Aficionado (Lovely Music, 1993) avec Robert Ashley, Jacqueline Humbert, Sam Ashley et Thomas Buckner.
- Cette œuvre fait partie du cycle NOW ELEANOR'S IDEA, avec les opéras Improvement, Foreign Experiences et eL/Aficionado. Ces quatre opéras sont autant de point de vue sur l'individu pris dans un contexte religieux. Ainsi, eL/Aficionado s'intéresse au "corporate mysticism".
