Any musical astronomers out there?

In addition to being an amateur astronomer I'm an amateur pianist mainly playing classical music. The combination astronomy/music may seem weird, but e.g. W.Herschel both played the organ and composed some music.

There are a few pieces of music which gives me "astronomical" associations. Currently I'm working with Debussy's "Suite Bergamasque" and one of the movements is the famous "Clair de Lune" which makes me think not only about a moonlit landscape, but perhaps even more on the sight of the Veil nebula through the telescope.

Another "astronomical" piano piece is Chopin's Prelude, Op.45. To me this is a painting of a drifting star field with beautiful chains of stars, asterisms and clusters slowly pass through the field of view.

Any other suggestions to "astronomical" music? Of course I know about "The Planets" of Holst.

Inge,

I don't play a musical instrument, but wish I could. I often fancy myself in front of an audience while listening to Bach or Vivaldi, for example, doesn't hurt to dream.

Not sure about astronomical, some of my favorites:
Bach's Brandenburg Concerto No.3
Beethoven's 9th symphony-Choral
Handel's Arrival of the Queen of Sheba, Water Music
Rachmaninoff's Raphsody on a Theme of Paganini
Vivaldi's Concerto Op. 8

I could go on...

For more modern stuff, Tangerine Dream's early albums certainly qualify as 'spacey,'-- in fact they're the reason I ended up getting into synthesizers. Turn on the reverb and a little echo and off you go...
