Today during our Brass Quintet dress rehearsal the lights turned out for a moment and we were left in complete darkness.
It just so happens that this blackout coincided perfectly with the the three beat grand pause in the second movement of Eric Ewazen's Frostfire. At the moment the silence began we were thrown into utter darkness, and light returned a millisecond before we had to play the next chord.
No way.

The Universe is telling the orchestra something. Or maybe, the Orchestra is telling the universe something.
