Here's the 22nd of the 30 Variations on Star Wars Themes by John Williams.
That I found in a book by James Joyce (d. 1941).

A sequence of 48 letters of the set {A/B/C/D/E/F/G/H}
["eaaehhheecabegheafcaefcadaeegafhchhefeededefcaaa"]
from this fragment of Joyce's "Finnegans Wake" (558.11-14):
["exaltation, still we think with Sully there can be no right extinuation for contravention of common and statute legislation for which the fit remedy resides, for Mr Sully, in corporal amputation"]

was translated into 48 respectively pitched musical notes.
No two (different) notes start at the same time.
Duration attributed arbitrarily.

Variation # 22 on Imperial Williams [FW 558.11-14]

The melodies here are found in James Joyce's "Finnegans Wake". When sequences of its A's, B's C's, D's, E's, F's, G's and H's represent sounds, Joyce appears to have composed melodies we think others did.
