Think of Federico Mompou, "Musica Callada"  or "Silent Music" -  Mompour, like Cage, was deeply influenced by Satie. 
THe new recording of Musica CAllada , Jenny Lin, is a treasure trove not just  ofsilence but  of stillness.

Hmm...
of course the word itself in the title would no justify it as "depiction of silence".
On the other hand, there are works out there that could be described as such without having the word "silence" in their title (see the "wild life" example I mentioned in my first email).

This would make for a fascinating compilation :-)


I agree! I did a quick check of my iTunes list
and there are over 300 tunes with the word "silence" - 
much too large for such a compilation.
