DEFYING GRAVITY: Music of Stargazers

Stars and other celestial bodies have engaged the imagination of poets, painters, astronomers, and other "stargazers" since the first human walked the earth. Randall set the text of the first work on this list (IRON RAIN) to the poetry of Dr. Sam Illingworth, a planetary scientist/poet who lives in Scotland. From there, one can hear the poetry of Dante, Sara Teasdale, Michelangelo, and James Agee - all artists who feel (felt) the universe - their inspiration - and stars - their compass. Enjoy some of Randall's most success musical works...
