Martin Pearlman has written Acts I & III of an opera on Finnegans Wake ; "Finnegans Wake: An Operoar". Act I from the first five pages ; Act III from the last three ;; Act II (work-in-progress) is from somewhere in the middle of the remaining 618 pages.

This is explicitly a Work-in-Progress so I suspect that when he finishes Act II there'll be a little bit of a fanfare for the Finished-Work.
