Guest Lee Blick Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 The congregation may have long fled the cathedral/church building as you finally end your Messian at Choral Evensong. They would have to test their patience by listening to this piece: The world's longest organ work OK. in the interrogation facility in Guantanamo Bay, you have the choice of listening to 'John' or 'Arty'. What is it going to be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Roffensis Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 For Mothers day I played Beethoven's Funeral March (Piano Sonata one) and effectively empitied the church very quickly. Entirely appropriate for Lent I thought. R Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pierre Lauwers Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 As for a Guantanamo Bay's organ, we could imagine a kind of synthesis for a "Trompette militaire" stop: -Open shallots like in France -Horizontal "en chamade" like in Spain -High pressure like in a 1920 H&H -A neo-baroque "near to no voicing" treatment -Hope-Jones scaling. Who will volunteer for the opening? Pierre Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vox Humana Posted March 27, 2006 Share Posted March 27, 2006 Very likely. I've always regarded Cage as a bit of a practical joker. There are more worthwhile pursuits in life than taking him seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
