Brian’s collected pieces, volume by volume.
I would like to commission a symphony, having it tell the rather ordinary story of my life, and of my death, through an array of musicians coaxing their instruments to an exultant crescendo, before crashing into the still vacuum of space. And when no sound remains, except for the expectant cough or the creak of a chair on stage, the conductor will turn around and say: All shall be well. Go forth and love one another!
