(Classical Music) (intr) (on a musical score) a direction indicating that a particular instrument or singer does not take part in a movement or part of a movement
[C18: from Latin: it is silent, from tacēre to be quiet]
The composer's notation read "Tacet. (7) For any instrument or instruments." The score noted three movements and their lengths, demarcated in the performance by Tudor's opening and closing of the piano's keyboard lid, and, in a subsequent recreation of the score, a series of vertical lines intended to indicate the passage of time.
Starting with Manhattan's LaGuardia School for the Arts in 1988, Thornton Tomasetti has collaborated on many projects with SACL, as well as strategic partner Tacet Engineering, whose staff SACL acquired in 2012.
