Bartleby, first published as a short story in Putnam's Monthly in 1853, is a tale of a mysterious scrivener, or law-copyist, employed by a lawyer whose office is in Wall Street. The lawyer tells the story, in the course of which we learn more about him than about his subject. Although the story does not solve the mystery of Bartleby it reaches a climax of considerable pathos.

The oratorio is in three parts: the first sets forth the idea of transitoriness, the second describes the things that are transitory, and the last hymns the powers of the ' unending.' D.C.
