Orbit is a work composed by acclaimed minimalist composer Philip Glass for Solo Cello. Orbit was commissioned by Damian Woetzel and premiered on the 2nd of April 2013, in a performance by cellist Yo-Yo Ma and dancer Lil Buck at Le Poisson Rouge in New York.The performance was a celebration of the collaboration between an incredible young dancer, an unbelievable cellist and one of the most accomplished composers of the modern day. This Philip Glass sheet music, however, is all about the music. With a softly-evolving melody that begins as a basic pattern before turning back on itself and transforming, Orbit is the perfect soundtrack to a marriage of virtuoso musicianship, expressive dance and achingly tender solo instrumental composition. Check out Yo-Yo Ma, check out Lil Buck, but most importantly of all, be sure to look into our Orbit sheet music by Philip Glass. / Violoncelle

A programatic work by composer Doris Gazda that sets out to depict the historic moon landing by the Apollo 11 astronauts and the famous first step by Neil Armstrong. A sound portrait of this remarkable event in America history.In July, 1959 the world watched and listened as the astronauts of Apollo 11 traveled from the Earth to the moon. The mission, launched by NASA, successfully carried men to the surface of the moon and returned them safely to earth. The spaceship was made up of a command module, Columbia, and a lunar module, Eagle. Astronauts Neil Armstrong, flight commander, and Buzz Aldrin, pilot of the lunar module, actually walked on the moon. The third astronaut, Michael Collins, piloted Columbia, the command module that orbited the moon while Armstrong and Aldrin were on the lunar surface.The 238,000-mile trip to the moon took four days. Apollo 11 fell into orbit 60 miles above the moon's surface. The Eagle separated from Columbia, orbited the moon nine miles above the surface and then made a powered descent, touching down on the moon in the Seat of Tranquility. Six hours after landing, Armstrong stepped onto the moon's surface uttering these memorable words that brought to reality the possibilities of space travel and exploration, That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.Armstrong and Aldrin spent two hours walking on the lunar surface. They set up some scientific equipment, raised an American flag and left a plaque signed by the Apollo 11 crew and President Richard Nixon, reading:Here men from planet earth first set foot upon the moon. July 1969 A.D. We came in peace for all mankind.Twenty-one hours after landing, the Eagle with Armstrong and Aldrin onboard, left the moon to reunite with Columbia. After docking successfully, all three men got into Columbia. They jettisoned the Eagle and Columbia left lunar orbit to make the return trip. Two days later Columbia re-entered the Earth's atmosphere and splashed down in the Pacific Ocean.

Space Journey is a three-movement suite depicting the launch, orbit and return to earth of a spaceship. Blast Off Into Orbit begins with a dramatic launch portraying the spaceship powering into the atmosphere. Zero Gravity allows the listener to float in space as a Lydian melody in the flute provides a light, weightless feeling while the percussion accompanies on metallic instruments. Re-entry to Earth features a descending fanfare announcing the return of the ship through the atmosphere back to earth. The ceremonial theme depicts the spaceship breaking through the sky, and landing in full glory.

< em>Orbits by Emily Howard is a contemporary work for Soprano Saxophone and Crotales. It is cast in two equal length movements that are thought of as contrasting 'Etudes in Dynamical Systems'. Orbits is a result of the close work with mathematicians Lasse Remp-Gillen and Alexandre DeZotti, who created two different sets of mathematical data, to which the two movements respond musically. It was first performed by scapegoat, Joshua Hyde and Noam Bierstone, on 17 November 2015 at The Foresight Centre, Liverpool, as part of the Leverhulme Artist in Residence Presentation.

The music is cast in a single 11-minute span which builds gradually in distinct developments of materials which emanate from the opening. It aims to evoke key aspects of Venus -- of imperiousness, of being 'under the spell', as it were -- together with planetary movement in outer space. Repeated notes evoke, perhaps, satellite radio signals and movement, mythic names in Morse code or just a vague communicative presence.

The word GONG is saturated with associations: the splendour of the Orient, mysticism, drama, loud metallic clangour, violent impact, etc. The present piece draws upon all those connotations, but it is primarily a symphonic drama about the life and behaviour of the sun, our closest star and prime source of life on Earth. Describing the sun in music is not a new idea, of course; during a visit to Greece, Carl Nielsen was inspired by the orbit of the sun and its very un-Danish ferocity and thus wrote the Helios Overture. GONG is a Helios Overture too, of sorts, albeit more abstract. Recent astronomical research shows, that the surface of the sun reverberates like a gong, in four different, simultaneous tempi (not directly depicted in the score, though); the sun looks like a GONG, - the O in the written work looks like the sun; there is even a solar research group called GONG (Global Oscillation Network Group). Formally the composition follows the life and fate of the sun, from the initial explotional birth through the hyper-activity as energy source as we know it today to the final, predicted flaring up and collapse into a so-called white dwarf. But - being a musical composition, not an astrophysical thesis - GONG is brought to its compositional conclusion by a real concert-ending, a chord taken from the middle of the piece and sustained over several bars, from virtual nothingness to full force.

Kurt Kaiser was the embodiment of what Harold Best once said about J.S. Bach - â??he could look at a blade of grass and see a universe.â? Kurt never stopped growing, believing, learning, and inspiring. He wore many hats and did so with humbleness of spirit and affirmation of all who came into his orbit. Kurt always made as much time for the impressionable young teenager as he did for famous artists with whom he collaborated. â??Come Awayâ? is a healing balm for these unsettling times.
