Greetings Ian,
"In Our Times" is a great BBC program. As a podcast, it's downloaded
automatically, and I find something of value in each program.
Also, thanks for the info on "The Ascent of Man" being available. I will
definitely track it down. Wow, the 70s were a long time ago.
Marsha

Hi Marsha and all,
Yes, another excellent piece from "In Our Time"
My own personal story .... the first person to ever turn me on to the
"beauty of nature" was Jacob Bronowski who did a major BBC TV Documentary
series in the 1970's "The Ascent of Man". He used "Music of the Spheres"
as
the title of his piece on the history of cosmology - through the
renaissance
and the enlightenment. Left an impression on me to this day.
BTW that series is available on DVD, and I watched it right through again
recently after I was reminded of it when blogging about Lisa Jardine, who
is
Jacob Bronowski's daugher.

This is the music of the spheres - the idea that the stars and planets as
they travel through space make beautiful music together.
The music of the spheres played out of the classical world, through the
medieval period and into the Renaissance. It affords us a glimpse into
minds
for whom the universe was full of meaning, of strange correspondences and
grand harmonies.

Shoot for the moon. Even if you miss, you'll land among the
