[AstroNet] [Fwd: IYA Song "Shoulders of Giants" is Ready!]

[Kevin Govender]

Hi all
Please have a listen to the IYA song mentioned below and feel free to 
download and spread.
Please also send me ideas/contacts for groups who would be able to do an 
African version of this song or a completely new IYA song.
We have some of the best voices and beats in the world and a song from 
Africa for IYA would surely be an international hit.
Regards
Kevin

Dear Mr. Govender,        
 
     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.)  
       The song and lyrics can be downloaded from The Chromatics' 
AstroCappella website:  http://www.astrocappella.com/IYA 
<ttp://www.astrocappella.com/IYA%22>.   Information about the Johannes 
Kepler Project and the music video contest are on my website: 
 www.johanneskepler.org <ttp://www.johanneskepler.org/%22> .
       Please feel free to share the song with other astronomy 
enthusiasts!  We hope it inspires everyone to go outside, look up and 
experience the wonders of the the universe!   
        Enjoy "Shoulders of Giants" and thank you for sharing the song 
with your friends and colleagues.
