<p>This month’s episode of <em>Physics World Stories</em> features an interview with composer <a href="https://www.amandaleefalkenberg.com/">Amanda Lee Falkenberg</a> with music from her <a href="https://www.moons-symphony.com/"><em>The Moons Symphony</em></a>. Her creation takes listeners on an epic journey through the science and stories of the moons of our solar system.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p><em>The Moons Symphony</em> performed by the London Symphony Orchestra is available now via <a href="https://signumrecords.com/product/the-moons-symphony/SIGCD730/">Signum Records</a>.</p>
