Maybe it's no joke.  But several years ago, a few of us on one of these
classical music lists did attempt to outdo each other with ideas of how
other composers would have rearranged Cage's 4'33".  Mine was how William
Byrd would arranged it for three, then fout, and then five voices.  The
music critics would love it and one would head his column:  "I Know Why
Byrd's Cage Sings".
