In the world of music where everything can be exceptionally subjective - even the meanings of 'titles' - music / operas can be written not for the usually reasons. A composer can compose purely to be the 'longest' or 'shortest' or most silent [yes a piece of music was written without any sounds!] So this answer is given thus - Peter Reynolds's 'Sands of Time' is only 3 minutes and 34 seconds long - its 'overture' is when it starts with the sand-timer being turned, and ends with the egg coming out of the saucepan.
