The sound of silence

Apologies for the long gap between postings here.  High time for the blogs to start again, so . . .

The title to this blog brings three things to mind, all worth following up in their own way:

1  Simon & Garfunkel's eponymous song

2  John Cage's infamous 4' 33"  and a good interview with the composer himself.  You could also read the book he wrote with the same name Silence, a copy is in the library.

3  Whilst on the subject of books worth reading, there is a fantastic history of 20th century music called 'The rest is noise' - must order a copy for the library.

Meanwhile in the CGS Music Department there most definitely is NOT the sound of silence.
More is happening than ever before - and more about all that anon.
