 | In Karel Goeyvaerts' vision of Utopia, 'Society' is represented scenically by groups of dancers and singing actors; the evolving structure he envisages is represented by the 'visible mutual relations' within these groups. |
 | Goeyvaerts is a master in using the voice to its full advantage at all levels of its expressiveness and this, as in the case of the orchestra, without the use of experimental techniques. |
 | Karel Goeyvaerts was himself unable to completely correct the manuscript for the publication of the score, vocal and orchestral material; after his sudden death on 3rd February 1993 this task was successfully completed by Mark De Smet, a great authority on and friend of Goeyvaerts'. |
