Curiosity


Our Curiosity is on Mars. The day of that event, I read the weekly Brain Pickings, and one article, with a twelve and a half minute video, was about a piece of music. I will copy in here the article's description of the piece, and below it, a link to the video.

What could be better than the solar system set to music in a near-perpetual homage to Bach? Little, but a three-movement choral suite inspired by Carl Sagan might be it — a magnificent mashup of Sagan’s timeless words set to harmonizing voices and an awe-inspiring montage of space exploration footage. Here’s to cosmic goosebumps, courtesy of Canadian composer and teacher, Kenley Kristofferson.
