Since early recorded history the connection between music and the wonders of space has been documented. In Biblical times man was moved to song by God’s glory revealed in the heavens. The Greeks believed in the music of the spheres, that heavenly bodies produced an individual soundtrack all their own. Even throughout the present numerous composers have employed cosmic themes to spark their compositional creativity.
Continuing in this tradition, I have curated a playlist of classical music pieces, inspired by the sun and moon, for today’s Eclipse festivities. Y’all enjoy!
