Hymn

I was just listening to Minnesota Public Radio and heard a piece by Alan Hovhaness (1911-2000) who I later found out was a little-known American composer whose influences include Ralph Vaughan-Williams and eastern music as well. He was actually quite prolific - he wrote 67 symphonies and in all over 400 works. I'm sad that I haven't heard of him until now. This video depicts celestial bodies spinning to Hovhaness' String Quartet No. 2, Mvt. III: Hymn. This music gives me chills. If you like this, get a copy of Hovhaness' Symphony No. 2: "Mysterious Mountain." Now that piece is cool.
