Additional info/contents	Jupiter's Moons, a commissioned composition by the conducting class of Mr. Felix Hauswirth at the Basel University of Music, is a four-part programmatic sound composition which, like Holst's Planets, takes its inspiration from foreign and distant worlds. The four largest and completely different moons of the planet Jupiter have not yet been researched very much, but their physical composition is known and there are good photographs taken by the Galileo space probe. The names of these celestial bodies, which are very important for science, come from Greek mythology and their meaning was also taken into account in my attempt at a musical characterization. Approaching the planet Jupiter from space, one crosses the orbit of Callisto, which is the outermost of the four Galilean moons. Callisto is a nymph in Greek mythology, which also fits with its dark, mysterious and rather delicate appearance. When looking at the NASA photos, I noticed various bright spots that shine and glitter in a peculiar way. The music focuses on a slight rotary motion that is meant to suggest the rotation of the celestial body in space and in relation to the other moons and planets. The character of the music is mysterious, alien and is mainly performed in high wood registers. Movement becomes sound in a denser tutti middle section. Ganymede is the name of a Greek boy. The moon is Jupiter's largest and most massive. Huge craters cover its grey and scarred surface. In contrast to its neighbour Callisto, I characterise Ganymede as more static. Brass and tutti colours predominate in the deeper areas and suggest power and mass. Europa is mythologically a beautiful princess from Asia whose name was only transferred to our continent much later. Scientifically speaking, this bluish moon is of great interest as it is believed that there is a huge ocean beneath the surface, which consists of ice sheets and could perhaps even contain some form of life. The introduction and end of the composition are dominated by icy, crystal-like hexatonic sound structures in the woods. The music in between is the fantasy of diving into the depths of a dark and unknown ocean, an eerie but arguably fascinating utopia. Io, the innermost of Jupiter's large moons, is the most active and spectacular moon in our solar system. Its color is sulfur yellow and it is squeezed so much by the gravitational forces of the nearby giant planet that there are a number of active volcanoes on its surface. As the climax of the suite Jupiter's Moons, this fourth movement is a rhythmic orgy or stampede in the musical sense. Tempo, meter and harmony culminate here in an ecstatic fire magic, which is fueled by full percussion and tutti instrumentation and reaches its culmination point in a wide-ranging twelve-tone cluster.

Programme notes *: The four largest moons of Jupiter, known as the Galilean moons, were first discovered by Galileo Galilei in 1610. These moons - Callisto, Ganymede, Europa and Io - are not only the largest moons of Jupiter, but also some of the most fascinating celestial bodies in our solar system. Each of these moons has unique properties that make them important objects of scientific research. 1. Callisto - It is the third largest moon of Jupiter and the second largest moon in our solar system. With a diameter of about 4,820 kilometers, it is almost as large as the planet Mercury. Callisto is known for its heavily cratered surface, which is considered to be one of the oldest and least altered surfaces in the solar system. Callisto's surface is covered with countless craters created by impacts. There is no sign of significant geological activity, suggesting that the surface has remained unchanged for billions of years. The moon is composed primarily of a mixture of ice and rock. Special features: - Low geological activity: Callisto shows little evidence of internal geological activity. - Thin atmosphere: The moon has a very thin atmosphere composed primarily of carbon dioxide. 2. Ganymede is the largest moon in the solar system, even larger than the planet Mercury, with a diameter of about 5,268 kilometers. It is the only moon that has its own magnetic field. Ganymede has a diverse surface, consisting of two main types of terrain: dark, heavily cratered areas and lighter, less cratered regions thought to have been formed by tectonic processes. The moon is composed primarily of water ice and silicate rock. Special features: - Magnetic field: Ganymede is the only moon in the solar system with its own magnetic field. - Subglacial ocean: Ganymede is thought to have a subsurface ocean that may contain more water than all of Earth's oceans combined. 3. Europa is the smallest of the four Galilean moons, but one of the most interesting for science. With a diameter of about 3,121 kilometers, Europa is slightly smaller than Earth's moon. Europa has a smooth, icy surface marked by few craters, indicating a relatively young and geologically active surface. The surface is riddled with cracks and striations caused by the movement of the ice. Special features: - Subsurface ocean: A liquid ocean is thought to exist beneath the icy crust, potentially supporting conditions for life. - Geological activity: The movement and interaction of the ice sheets indicate geological activity caused by Jupiter's tidal forces. 4. Io is the innermost of the Galilean moons and the most volcanically active body in the solar system. With a diameter of about 3,643 kilometers, Io is slightly larger than our moon. Io's surface is marked by hundreds of active volcanoes that emit sulfur dioxide and other gases. The volcanic activity is caused by the strong tidal forces created by the gravitational interactions with Jupiter and the other Galilean moons. Special features: - Extremely high volcanic activity: Io has more active volcanoes than any other celestial body in the solar system. - Colorful surface: The surface is colored in different colors by sulfur, giving it a unique appearance. The Galilean moons Callisto, Ganymede, Europa and Io offer fascinating insights into the diversity and dynamics of celestial bodies in the solar system. From Callisto's ancient, cratered landscape to Io's explosive volcanic activity, from Europa's potentially life-friendly ocean to Ganymede's unique magnetic field - each of these moons offers unique fields of research and contributes significantly to our understanding of the solar system. Exploring these moons remains a priority for future space missions and scientific studies. Quelle/Source: musicainfo.net (KI) Information: Ruh Musikverlag Wikipedia Tags: Space and Universe
