Astronomy… and a little bit of astrology
Update: 2025-09-12
Description
Music that takes its inspiration from humanity’s gaze out into the cosmos and from our attempts to reach beyond this fragile planet we call home. And to access some music that predated the quite modern science of ‘astronomy’ I’ve thrown in some works that may owe rather more to ‘astrology’ or perhaps even to the realm of ‘mythology’. As a result this is I think the most eclectic collection of music yet put out into the universe under the ‘Classical For Everyone’ banner. In the next hour and a quarter you are going to hear music by Gustav Holst, Jean-Phillipe Rameau, Henri Dutilleux, Joaquin Rodrigo, Terry Riley, Johann Sebastain Bach, Brett Dean and Benjamin Britten.
