Yesterday at neo-neocon, the commenter HanoiParisHilton linked to some visualizations of classical music compositions. The guy who made them is Stephen Malinowski, and he's got dozens of them on his YouTube site. They're pretty neat.

Great video. My only quibble is that the narrator stresses "OF the people..." rather than "of the PEOPLE..." as Lincoln most likely said, and intended, when he initially delivered his speech in November 1863.
