This month’s episode of Physics World Stories features an interview with composer Amanda Lee Falkenberg with music from her symphony.com/">The Moons Symphony. Her creation takes listeners on an epic journey through the science and stories of the moons of our solar system.

The seven-movement symphony dramatizes the geophysical features of Io, Europa, Titan, Enceladus, Miranda and Ganymede, before turning to our own Moon for a two-part finale. In creating the work, Australian-born Falkenberg immersed herself in the scientific research and consulted many scientists and astronauts.

The Moons Symphony performed by the London Symphony Orchestra is available now via Signum Records.
