The OTHER "Music of (Mostly) Silence"

Postby Darcy on Sun 31 Dec, 2006 11:37 am

For Christmas, I received the gift of "Schott's Almanac, 2007", from a dear relation. Among the many interesting items listed in this fascinating volume is a piece about the world's slowest concert recital...which is scheduled to take some 639 years to perform! Of course, this means that it contains, for the most part, silence!

I've found a link to this subject on a page from "The Times Online" of January, 2006....

Darcy,
Wow! I know that Andrea is an amazing vocalist but I don't think that he could hold a note quite that long. Ha, ha!
