The text of the work is made up of words invented by a Grade 7 class when, in 1966, I asked pupils for suitable synonyms that would express in sound the concept of "moonlight".
It is a free composition in which the singers must improvise from given indications of pitch, intensity and duration. To accompany the voices there is a selection of instruments as desired: glockenspiels, metallophones, vibraphones, triangles, bells, cymbals. The vibrations from these instruments, when used carefully, produced luminous effects that are evocative of moonlight reflecting on water. The score is written graphically and so does not require a knowledge of conventional musical notaion.

Le texte de cette œuvre est fait de mots inventés par des élèves de 7ième année quand, en 1966, je leur demandai d'inventer des synonymes de "moonlight" ("clair de lune").
C'est une composition libre dans laquelle les d'intensité et de durée. Pour accompagner les voix, un choix d'instruments est proposé: glockenspiels, métallophones, triangles, cloches, cymbales. Les vibrations de ces instruments, s'ils sont utilisés avec circonspection, produisent des effets lumineux évocateurs du reflet d'un clair de lune dans l'eau. La partition utilise l'écriture graphique et ne nécessite pas de l'interprète une connaissance de la notation traditionnelle.
Pourquoi une épitaphe? La lune, conquise en 1969, n'est plus un symbole de réve. "La lune est morte, je l'ai vue mourir".
