Description
The EIU Faculty Brass Quintet performs "Celestial Suite," music that reflects upon the relationship between astronomy and sacred music.
The piece is in five movements, with each movement highlighting a different astronomer or physicist, and represented by a member of the brass quintet:
Copernicus - Trumpet (Dr. Jenny Brown)
Galileo - French Horn (Dr. Jessica Pearce)
Newton - Tuba (Dr. Evan Kelsick)
Hubble - Trombone (Dr. Will Porter)
Hawking - Trumpet (Invited Guest Artist Keven Lewis)
Each movement relates, for the most part, to the sacred music of the individual's period in history. This collection of individuals is more of a look back at the history of space exploration, however, the final movement does lead one to ponder the question of how and why we are here.
