The Origin of the title "YYZ"?
------------------------------
YYZ is the airport code for Toronto Canada. If you ever travel to
Toronto, you'll notice the "YYZ" on your baggage ticket. The intro
to this song on the crotale is based on the letters Y Y Z in Morse
code. In Morse code, the letter Y is "-.--" (dash dot dash dash)
and the letter Z is "--.." (dash dash dot dot). Thus, YYZ becomes:
"-.---.----.." or
"dash dot dash dash dash dot dash dash dash dash dot dot".
Crotale (5/4)
