In 1966, Cathy Berberian composed her first musical work, Stripsody, for solo voice. Stripsody explores the onomatopoeic sounds of comic strips illustrated by Roberto Zamarin, conveying a succession of engaging vignettes. A radical paradigm shift in composition during the 1960s.

Phillips - Ornamentik (1968) "Ornamentik" was written at the request of the American trombonist Stuart Dempster who asked for a piece that would suggest, within the character of a sustaining instrument, various provocative challenges to corner him into inventing new sounds.

I’m never impressed more by ancient musicians than the Epitaph of Seikilos, a possible 2,200 year ancient old Greek song. It is the oldest song in the world to survive with complete lyrics and music notation.
