Shout in the Street

Commissioned for the 100th anniversary of James Joyce's Ulysses by the Barlow Endowment for Music Composition at Brigham Young University and Network for New Music.
"I am quite aware that owing to some of its scenes Ulysses is a rather strong draught to ask some sensitive, though normal, persons to take. But my considered opinion, after long reflection, is that, whilst in many places the effect of Ulysses on the reader undoubtedly is somewhat emetic, nowhere does it tend to be an aphrodisiac. Ulysses may, therefore, be admitted into the United States."
Federal District Judge John M. Woolsey verdict, December 6, 1933,
UNITED STATES VS. ONE BOOK CALLED "ULYSSES."
5 F. Supp. 182 (S.D.N.Y. 1933)
