In reference to those who are now arguing about whether or not the use of a text would be valid, in my opinion, and if I were a judge, I would consider a "vocalise" or the use of "scat" syllables to be from a composer less skillful in vocal writing than one who was able to consider the rhythms, articulations and vowels within a given text to his artistic advantage. To write a piece using the mentioned textural devices (instead of a text) could show skill with voices imitating an instrumental composition, but would ultimately appear less tailored to a chorus.
