New Song for IYA 2009: "Shoulders of Giants"
The Chromatics and the Johannes Kepler Project are pleased 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 2009. "Shoulders of Giants", which
celebrates Galileo's first glimpse of the heavens through his telescope -- and the astonishing pace
of discovery ushered in by his observations -- will be used as part of the Johannes Kepler Project's
2009 Astronomy Music Video Contest.
