  • "And Then There Was Silence" is a song by German power metal band Blind Guardian. It was released in November 2001 as the lead single from their album A Night at the Opera. Written by singer Hansi Kürsch and composed by Kürsch and guitarist André Olbrich, the song is based on The Iliad by Homer and on the Aeneid by Virgil, and narrates the final days of Troy, as foreseen by Cassandra, daughter of the king of the destroyed city who foresaw the event. The song required as much production time as the rest of A Night at the Opera combined due to its length, intricacy, and number of audio tracks. At over 14 minutes, it is the longest track recorded by Blind Guardian. A new version was recorded in 2012 and included as part of the compilation album Memories of a Time to Come. (en)

  • " And Then There Was Silence " est une chanson du groupe de power metal allemand Blind Guardian . Elle sortit en novembre 2001 en tant que single principal de leur album A Night at the Opera . Les paroles sont écrites par le chanteur Hansi Kürsch et l’ensemble est composé par celui-ci ainsi que le guitariste André Olbrich. La chanson est basée sur L'Iliade d'Homère et sur l'Énéide de Virgile. Elle raconte les derniers jours de Troie comme le prévoyait Cassandra, fille du roi de la ville détruite, qui avait prévu l'événement. La chanson a nécessité autant de temps de production que le reste de l’album A Night at the Opera combiné, en raison de sa longueur, de sa complexité et du nombre de pistes audio. Avec une durée de plus de 14 minutes, c'est le morceau le plus long enregistré par Blind Guardian. Une nouvelle version a été enregistrée en 2012 et incluse dans la compilation . (fr)
  • And Then There Was Silence è la canzone più lunga edita della band tedesca Blind Guardian ed è anche la title track dell'omonimo singolo. L'uscita del singolo è del novembre del 2001 come singolo principale tratto dall'album A Night at the Opera. La storia prende spunto dai racconti epici di Omero e Virgilio, rispettivamente l'Iliade e l'Eneide, e narra la fine della guerra e gli ultimi giorni di Troia, come era stato predetto da Cassandra, figlia del re Priamo. La grande complessità della canzone, caratteristica insolita per un singolo, e l'eccezionale musicalità la contraddistingue dal resto del repertorio della band, che sembra aver tracciato con essa un punto di svolta dalle più classiche sonorità Heavy a sperimentazioni orchestrali.
