    This is a very short miniature for four solo bass voices exploring vowel sounds. Wherever the letters in the text appear singularly they are to be pronounced as we pronounce them when we talk about them, Ay Ee Ie OH Yoo etc. The last bit of text, AA, is to be pronounced "Ah", but was written in that way in order to show the character of this pure vowel sound sound in contrast to the others, which are all dipthongs. Correspondingly, the interval on which the piece ends is an open fifth, which is often felt to be a very "pure" interval.
