    I love the ones where they are scattered over the stave. (Pity it wasn't five wires.)

    Must be the first time I got better pics than you! (Which reminds me - the Dancing Tomb of Dundry ... ?)

    Great pics! Messiaen was into this, I think. Then John Cage and his flock. But these look like the originals.

    Need to find a musician who will play it now! :-) Whirry percussion, I think.

    Yes! I'm hearing Cesar Franck at the organ, Messiaen pumping. And a percussionist whose name is...escaping me now.
