Slocum & Cahoon A5. Originally published in 1907 in London. The first authorized American edition published in New York by B. W. Huebsch appeared three months after this Cornhill issue. "Although it is widely reported that the title refers to the sound of urine tinkling in a chamber pot this is a later Joycean embellishment lending an earthiness to a title first suggested by his brother Stanislaus and which Joyce by the time of publication had come to dislike . . . In Ulysses Leopold Bloom reflects 'Chamber music. Could make a pun on that.' In fact the poetry of Chamber Music is not in the least bawdy nor reminiscent of the sound of tinkling urine. In 1909 Joyce wrote to his wife 'When I wrote Chamber Music I was a lonely boy walking about by myself at night and thinking that one day a girl would love me.'" Wikipedia "As the title suggests Chamber Music is to be considered a set of songs rather than a collection of poems as Joyce clearly stated in a letter to the English composer Geoffrey Molyneux Palmer 15 July 1909: 'I hope you may set all of Chamber Music in time. This was indeed partly my idea in writing it. The book is in fact a suite of songs . . .' Besides Palmer a number of composers have set the poems to music including Samuel Barber."
