Go to the link above and listen to the first couple of minutes of the programme -- Toch's Geographical Fugue, translated into English by John Cage and performed by four Radio 3 presenters.

I can't decide whether I like it or am deeply irritated by it, but it's an unusual experience.

OMG when I was in junior high school my english teacher made the class learn the geographical fugue. We were meant to perform it at graduation but he got pissed off at us and cancelled it because we weren't serious enough. Canada, Malaga, Rimini, Brindisi--TRINIDAD! I can still remember lots of it.
