[xvovllxj] Coincident song in a round

Write a musical piece consisting of a collection of voice parts with durations relatively prime to one another.  They all keep repeating as in a round or fugue.  Only at the end do they finally all coincide in a dramatic finale.

This could also be a play, with characters repetitively doing things of different durations.

Still takes thought not to make it monotonously boring.
