Well, certainly Edward Gorey would agree, and the Tiger Lilies - aided by the Kronos Quartet - celebrate the "Victorian noir" of Gorey in beautiful and idiosyncratic performances, redolent of what drawing room recitals of 1800s London might have been if the audiences were not afriad of being offended.
Gorey, and there are moments when the linguistic precision and care of Edward is somewhat brushed aside by the demands of the song, but these - all in all - do not disturb this listener's ear to any great degree.
The vocals of Martyn Jaques are to be particularly noted, as they dive in an out of Victorian hysteria, sometimes doing a grim march to the grave, and often erupting into melo-dramatic flourishes quite appropriate to the subject matter, which ranges from a weird alphabet to a learned pig to Gorey's mysterious universal compound QRV.

 Martyn
By 1900, Martyn had amazingly found an all-boy choir in Dublin, under the direction of Vincent O'Brien, capable of singing to the standards of Cologne and Paris.
Martyn, then, vigorously campaigned for the O'Brien Choir to replace the existing choir in the Pro-Cathedral Dublin.
Martyn himself always recorded that the foundation of the Palestrina Choir was the direct result of the development of intellectual conviction and spiritual strength which resulted from his worship in European cathedrals, and which then inspired him to share the fruits of his experience with the Irish people.

 New Hibernia Review v4 n1 Iris Éireannach Nua
Edward Martyn (1859—1924) has been unkindly remembered by historians of the Literary Revival as a querlous patron and inept dramatist.
At the turn of the century Martyn led off a debate about the sad condition of Irish church music and musicianship in D. Moran’s The Leader.
That debate capped Martyn’s championing of the choirmaster Vincent O’Brien and Martyn’s endowment of the Palestrina Choir for Dublin’s Pro-Cathedral.

In 1899 they joined with Edward Martyn, her piously Catholic neighbor, and the anti-Catholic novelist George Moore, a produced playwright connected with J. Grein’s Independent Theatre in London, to establish the Irish Literary Theatre.
Furthermore, the financial backing was insecure—their principal backer, Edward Martyn, dropped out when they refused to do his plays as he wrote them, and he went off to form the rival but short-lived Players’ Club.
Martyn and Moore, otherwise at odds, favored plays written in what everyone took to be the realistic Ibsen style focused on contemporary subjects.
