Page CXVI is a band out of Colorado that reworks, re-imagines and sometimes reinvents classic hymns. Their band name is drawn from a page number in a particular copy of The Magician’s
Nephew by C.S. Lewis, the brilliant passage where Aslan begins to sing
Narnia into creation out of a black void.
Here's the quote: "In the darkness something was happening at last. A voice
had begun to sing. It was very far away and Digory found it hard to
decide from what direction it was coming. Sometimes it seemed to come
from all directions at once. Sometimes he almost thought it was coming
out of the earth beneath them. Its lower notes were deep enough to be
the voice of the earth herself. There were no words. There was hardly
even a tune. But it was, beyond comparison, the most beautiful noise he
had ever heard. It was so beautiful he could hardly bear it." - C.S.
Lewis, The Magician's Nephew p. 116
