The Most Beautiful Song Ever

This is a piece by John Cage, entitled 4'33" (pronounced either four minutes, thirty-three seconds; or [as the composer called it] four, thirty-three).   It is simply four minutes and thirty-three seconds of pure silence.   It is truly the most beautiful song in the world, just because there aren't any problems with it.   Enjoy.

Haha, my Boy Scout patrol used this as a skit a while back... :3

Sadly, the wondrous melodies had to be cut short.

Two things:

1. Skip through different parts to see hos hand move a lot.

2. The audience must have been pretty effing bored then...

Re: The Most Beautiful Song Ever

Silence is the most beautiful thing you can find but I prefer something, isn't the definition of music. The art or science of combining vocal or instrumental sounds (or both) to produce beauty of form, harmony, and expression of emotion. I heard nothing!

Re: The Most Beautiful Song Ever

It seems like you guys are trying to be so deep by saying "hurr durr silence so beautiful". There is a bunch of problems with it, first being there isn't any sound. http://dictionary.reference.com/browse/music
It needs sound, vibrations, to be music. This is not music.

I never called it music, I called it a song.
Song: poetical composition
Composition: an intellectual creation
I admit, Cage didn't create silence, but he did put in a format where people listened to it (or rather didn't).   And I'm not trying to be deep, it's actually quite simple.   It's perfect because there are no flaws.   Also, it's four and a half minutes that you can use to reflect.

It's such a shame that the silence can't block out the hum of my computer, or whatever's on TV, or my typing, like hard metal can.

Here's a sandwich. I placed it on your desk, eat up. Tell me if there's a problem while eating it. Or finding it.

It has a flaw. It is no perfection.

Here's the flaw:

No one likes it. It evokes absolutely no emotion.
