Folks,
There is "The Telephone" by Menotti.
In addition, I used to use my colleague's number and mine to
illustrate antecedent and consequent relationships for the theory
class. The sequence was 3-4-3-2-6-0 9, 3-4-5-1-8-9-0. It made a nice
waltz tune.
I used to give an assignment to my composition students in which they
created a rhythmic sequence from their telephone numbers converted to
binary numbers. The 1s would be quarter notes, and the 0s would be
eighths. They could choose any meter or changing meters. It really
got them away from 4 x 4 clunky rhythms.
For example, 4-7-2 comes out 0100 0111 0010
e q e e e q q q e e q e
Try it. It's fun!
