Here's a question for all of you...

My brass band just recieved a piece of music by Eric Ball called "High
Peak". At the end of the piece there is a sustained chord played at FFF
(that's how it's marked!). But over top of the note is the word 'lunga'. A
few years ago some of the band members deciphered this to mean "big a--
breath", but I wanted to ask for the true definition of 'lunga'.

Regards,
Matt LaFontaine
