Shoulders of Giants
The Johannes Kepler Project and The Chromatics are happy to announce the release of the AstroCappella song "Shoulders of Giants".
This song was commissioned by the Johannes Kepler Project, written and arranged by Padi Boyd and performed by The Chromatics, specifically for the International Year of Astronomy. You may recall that an earlier version of the song debuted at the AAS/ASP meeting in St. Louis, MO, last summer.
"Shoulders of Giants" will be used as part of the Johannes Kepler Project's 2009 Astronomy Music Video Contest. In addition, The Chromatics and I hope the song will strike a harmonious cord with people and be used in a variety of other IYA projects around the globe. To this end, The Chromatics and I would like to make this song freely available for such use, asking only that the appropriate credits be given to the composer (Padi Boyd), the performers (The Chromatics/AstroCappella) and the Johannes Kepler Project. (Please note, however, that the use of the song as part of a commercial project will require a copyright release from the Project.)
Further information, lyrics and higher quality song is available on The Chromatics' AstroCappella website (http://www.astrocappella.com/IYA), while information about the Johannes Kepler Project and the video contest may be obtained from http://www.johanneskepler.org
