Aria for Earth

11/22/2024; 2 minutes

Enjoy this flight from space over the Patagonia mountains of Chile and Argentina, while listening to the Stardust Sinfonia, a German trio playing flute, vibraphone and harpsichord. The music floats above – a peaceful Aria from Bach's Goldberg Variations. Stardust Sinfonie performs live in theaters and planetaria in Europe. They show photos and movies of Earth, as astronaut Gerhard Thiele shares his experiences in space. Aria for Earth was one of Earth Music Theater's first productions. As we experience this lovely pass over Earth, be mindful that Patagonia's glaciers are retreating with a warming planet. Recorded on 03/23/2015. (#40326)
