 Laborintus II combines orchestral , choral and spoken elements throughout its three parts . Patton 's spoken narration is delivered in Italian , although taped samples feature Sanguineti speaking in English . From a <unk> to a shout , the words carry a variety of emotional tones as the work progresses .

They are accompanied by three female vocalists whose voices range from soprano singing to " <unk> " and " <unk> " .
