To clarify, though, it is my composition; Michelangelo just helped me with some of the design. I find it interesting that you characterize the experience as a "friendly and whimsical" one -- which in ways it certainly was. As the composer of a piece in this series of 'cartographic' works, I tell players _where_ to play and _when_ to play, but not _what_ to play. As such, the content to which such adjectives must apply must be that of the players themselves.
