John Cage: Crowds flock to hear song change chord for first time in seven years

Followers have flocked to a church in Germany to hear a chord change in a song which lasts for 639 years.

It’s the first chord change to As Gradual As Doable in seven years.

The song by avant-garde composer, John Cage, is the world’s longest and slowest piece of music.

The piece started 19 years in the past with a pause lasting almost 18 months. The change of chord happened on the specially-built organ on which the composition is being carried out.

The Saint Burchardi Church in town of Halberstadt began enjoying the song in 2001 and the final notice change happened in 2013.

The rating is made up of eight pages of music, to be performed on the piano or organ – very slowly.

However the wait for the following scheduled chord change will probably be fast in comparability – with 5 February 2022 slated because the date.

The song will finish in 2640.

Cage, who handed away in 1992 on the age of 79, wrote the piece in the 1980s.

The composer is arguably most well-known for 4’33”, which is just made up of 4 minutes and 33 seconds of silence.
