Cassini's Rings

2004 年，美國國家航空航天局的凱西尼號太空船（以天文學家喬瓦尼-多梅尼科-凱西尼命名）進入環繞土星的軌道。著名的星環以字母表中的前七個字母命名，並按照它們與土星距離的遠近順序排列成一個旋律音列，以此為基礎創作了這首適合初學者演奏的令人興奮的作品。長度：2:20

原文簡介:
In 2004, NASA's Cassini spacecraft (named for astronomer Giovanni Domenico Cassini) entered into orbit around the planet Saturn. The famous rings are named for the first seven letters of the alphabet, and in order of their distance from the planet form a melodic tone row used as the basis for this creative and exciting work for beginning players.
