This is another piece of edible verse from Lear and the six voices are needed to create a creamy and smooth mix – just like nutella in fact. In the arrangement, the voices thin out one at a time as the nutty mix disappears leaving a solo voice on the words “nice little nut!”
This arrangement is optional and singers will no doubt find other ways of  negotiating the round. The coda however needs to be sung as arranged so that the creaminess of the E flat minor mode can be explored in full.
