Developed between 1976 and 1979, the Dutch composer ten Holt's composition is unique in its open structure, which grants performers considerable freedom regarding duration, dynamics, and instrumentation. Cantos unfolds as a surreal tableau—a distorted mirror of human folly and carelessness, inspired by the biting visions of Francisco de Goya's Proverbs (Los Proverbios) and Follies (Los Disparates), as well as the playful provocations of Marcel Duchamp.
