Abstract
Mauricio Kagel’s Anagrama (1957–1958) was composed at a time when speech was treated as one of the musical elements. his paper examines the permutational thought in this vocal piece and suggests that the process of word formation was utilized by the composer as a centrifugal force with which to expand linguistic elements through associative extensions and variations among linguistic units during the permutation process. Such an inventive permutation process exceeds its subtlety of vocal compositional technique, its philosophical constructs making it one of the masterpieces of Sprachkomposition.
