Sind Blitze, sind Donner in Wolken verschwunden? [Hath lightning, hath thunder in clouds fully vanished?] Not to mention Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, and Cupid. And I would have translated verschwunden as 'dashed away. Dashing!

But as for dramatic silences in music, isn't the silence (the "grandest" pauze of all) the one between the very last note of a great performance and the applause?

But perhaps this is a joke.
Ya think mehbe? Perhaps Hydra is unfamiliar with the poem.

I would use the word caesura to describe a significant pause in the music, essentially a rest of undefined duration -- that is of a duration at the discretion of the conductor.

I found it on YouTube if you'd like to hear it with your own ears. Sind Blitze, sind Donner in Wolken verschwunden starts at 5.49. The "grand pause/caesura" is at 6.23. Enjoy.

Hey, Pookie, welcome! You're only the second (identified) Tasmanian we've had on here. (paulb, are you still around?) Thanks for the welcome. Really? Actually I'm an ex-patriate Sydneysider, but have had the operation to graft the second head and extra fingers on. Pookie is the name of a character in a children's book. I'm THE Pook, which is different, like Winnie THE Pooh, but you can call me that if you like, I don't mind.
