This could be titled Bach Goes to Mars, the piano part being based on a beloved Bach Prelude. The choir tells the story, while the piano adds drama, at one point taking us “up in the air.” And alas, the ending leaves us a bit suspended, suggesting perhaps that this is not quite done. Unique and special best describe this composition.
Over the horizon the next frontier,
Millions of miles as the rocket flies.
Without fear, forging ties, transcending nations,
from the blue to the red,
imprinting astronauts , the astronaut’s tread.
