The concert was broadcast live over BBC Radio 3. In 2004, the BBC Symphony Orchestra gave the first orchestral performance in the United Kingdom. The sounds in a house, of nature, or outside a window will not be the same from one time to another.Īlthough 4’33” was first performed by a solo pianist, other ensembles have also performed it. Within those fixed elements, there was room for random sounds. Cage also used the I Ching to determine fixed elements in his works such as tempo and duration. It was the composer’s study of Zen Buddhism that influenced his aleatoric or chance music, meaning that part of the composition is left up to chance as determined by the performers. He was also one of the first to compose using electronics. He was also a major influence in the development of modern dance along with his partner, choreographer Merce Cunningham. For example, he wrote works for a prepared piano–a piano that had objects placed under some of the strings to create unique sounds. But when a musician sees a rest in the score, that rest is still part of the composition and is a valid part of the overall work.Ĭage (1912-1992) was a pioneer in using instruments in non-standard ways. If those rests did not exist, there would be no place for singers to breathe, no variety in the combination of instruments heard during a symphony orchestra or band concert, and no place in the music for a pause as part of the rhythm. The interruption of the silence can be either audible or emotional.Ĭonventional music has rests as part of the music. One of Simon and Garfunkel’s most popular songs, The Sound of Silence, describes something in each verse that disrupts silence. The impact of perceived silence happens daily even without thinking about it. Some people cannot go to sleep without the sound of white noise in the background. Recordings of rain, ocean waves, and other white noise are often used to help people relax. When someone is observing a period of silence, there are still sounds present such as rain hitting a window, distant traffic sounds or voices. This work has prompted various discussions about silence and music. The sounds make their own music even if it is not the traditional or conventional music people are used to. Others shuffled in their seat, anticipating that the pianist would play something.Ĭage created this work to encourage people to listen to the sounds around them. They made their own music by their whispers that grew louder as they wondered what was going on.

The silence of the piano did not leave the audience in silence. Instead of music performed in a traditional concert setting, the initial impression was that the audience had been subjected to silence. This closing and opening was repeated to before the second and third movements. Pianist David Tudor walked out on stage on August 29, 1952, in Woodstock, NY, sat down at the piano and closed the lid.Īt the end of the first movement, the lid was re-opened. The audience at the world premiere was prepared to listen to this piece divided into three movements. And remember: you have only one chance, don’t miss it.When composer John Cage wrote 4’33” (Four minutes, thirty-three seconds), it would become his most famous and controversial piece.
