“Let’s Start at the Very Beginning…”


With an opening sequence that thrills

With a song in the Austrian hills,

The cinema fan views

The Alps and Miss Andrews

As she flees her liturgical drills.

In the Eye of the Beholder

 

In Europe, one of the most notable users of graphic was Sylvano Bussotti, whose scores have often been displayed as pieces of visual art by enthusiasts.  -- Wikipedia, s.v. "Graphic notation (music)"


In the odd-looking scores that he wrote, he

Was aware that the sense was remote, he

Said there's no stigmas

In graphic enigmas,

And signed them “Sylvano Bussotti”.
