Dear Jim,
Domenico Gabrielli (born in the 1650s) would roll over in his grave.
All he ever did was to place his several choirs all around the front,
back, and sides of a single church.
Go to http://www.ted.com/talks/a_choir_as_big_as_the_internet.html?utm_source=newsletter_weekly_2010-04-20&utm_campaign=newsletter_weekly&utm_medium=email
for a song that lasts five minutes and extends for the full 40 000
kilometres around the Earth.
P.S. I know that this is a bit of a cheat for the metric system issue
– but I thought you might like to see it anyway.
Cheers,
Pat Naughtin
