as a kid i would jump around and sing and dance like a banshee to this song

[AndyT]

Classical.
It has never been played by humans because of its length.

I don't recall the name of the song or the composer, but I think I read about a song that is being played in Germany that will go on for another 500 to 600 years.

Dylan must have something to do it with it.

Dylan.. LOL

Kaikhosru Sorabji's Jami Symphony. The timings of the movements are as follows:
1st movement: 1:34:47 (86.81MB)
2nd movement: 19:46 (18.1MB)
3rd movement: 1:58:57 (109.91MB)
4th movement: 43:07 (39.48MB)
Total: 4:36:37 (301.82 MB)

Four and a half hours: that's one long symphony.

It was played once by a MIDI computer as an experiment in computerized music reading, but other than that, its never been played by man because of it's length.

Found it! A mere 639 years to play it. (I still think that John Cage must be related to Dylan.)
