<tt>Hi all<br>
Please have a listen to the IYA song mentioned below and feel free to
download and spread.<br>
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. <br>
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.<br>
Regards<br>
Kevin<br>

<div>Dear Mr. Govender, </div>
<div> </div>
<div> 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. </div>
<div> "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.) </div>
<div> The song and lyrics can be downloaded from The Chromatics'
AstroCappella website: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

Information about the Johannes Kepler Project and the music video
contest are on my website: <a moz-do-not-send="true"

<div> 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! </div>
<div> Enjoy "Shoulders of Giants" and thank you for sharing the
song with your friends and colleagues.</div>
