I usually put a cd on 'repeat all' quietly throughout the night while I
sleep; Robert Rich, Eno, Steve Roach, shakuhachi, bansuri, etc... One night
last week I'd been playing Penderecki, and decided to sleep to Threnody. I
only made it a couple of hours before I woke up and had to shut it off!

According to this <http://www.cs.rit.edu/~spr/polish/names.html> it's more
like  "pen-der-ETski"...

I'd still like to know how to pronounce Varese, though...
