About this item
Composed in the style of Holst, this piece celebrates the scientific accomplishments derived from the vision of Galileo, including our GPS system! Think how far we have come! Beginning with an ominous flowing bass ostinato that builds to a bold climax, this piece employs tri-tone shifts encouraging aural skills as students listen to the ever-changing tonal center. Dissonant, intense and sure to thrill!
