Reuters quote of the day, December 4

London, Dec 3 (Reuters) Following is a notable quote from history. ''Composing is like driving down a foggy road toward a house.

Slowly you see more details of the house - the color of the slates and bricks, the shape of the windows. The notes are the bricks and the mortar of the house.'' -- English composer Benjamin Britten, who died on December 4, 1976, aged 63.
