They chose a novel format called the charrette, a kind of civic group therapy in which all parts of the community, assisted by outside experts, are encouraged to pour out their complaints and to work together in search of specific reforms.

It is alternately solemn and joyous, with a directness that is rare in music of any period. The format of the work is more formal than the kind of drama which we are accustomed to. Daniel is a simple re-telling of the Biblical narrative, and there is no more concern for unity of time and place or for psychological realism than in the original tale.
