Vangelis Juno To Jupiter Vangelis Background Vangelis, without formal training, began playing piano at the age of four and by age six was giving public performances of his own compositions - his natural gift coming from a place he calls memory -a place he says we can all tap into if we can only remember. Since his childhood, Vangelis is constantly composing music and has released over forty albums, over twenty movie/TV soundtracks, two ballets, one modern dance performance, six plays, three choral symphonies and has major audio/visual spectaculars to his credit. Vangelis’ music is often linked to themes of science, history and exploration. Alongside his Academy Award-winning score for CHARIOTS OF FIRE and his acclaimed BLADE RUNNER music, he has written the choral symphony ‘Mythodea’ for NASA’s 2001 Mission to Mars, as well as films including ANTARTICA, 1492: CONQUEST OF PARADISE and ALEXANDER. Vangelis also collaborated with the European Space Agency (ESA) on his album ROSETTA to mark the culmination of the Rosetta Mission to land a probe on a comet for the first time in history, as well as for the broadcasting by ESA into space of his CD single dedicated to the late Professor Stephen Hawking, as a mark of respect and remembrance. His music has also been used in the documentary series Cosmos: A Personal Voyage by Carl Sagan. NASA has presented Vangelis with their Public Service Medal. Also, the International Astronomical Union’s Minor Planet Center at the Smithsonian Astrophysical Observatory named the Asteroid 6354 which is located between Jupiter and Mars ‘’Vangelis” in his honour, due to the international impact and appreciation of his work as well as his rapport with the Universe. ‘’Vangelis has composed all of the music for Juno videos, documentaries, and simulations of observations. It is not often that an Oscar-winning (and not only) composer is inspired to write music about space. So, the Juno mission has had its public impact multiplied by the unique talent of Vangelis’ music. This libretto is a continuation of the Juno story....” - Stamatios (aka Tom) Krimigis, Principal Investigator, Voyager 1 and 2 Vangelis’ position and strongest wish is that we shouldn’t forget that Space, Universe, Cosmos, in whichever name we call it, is our hope and future and we need to be careful not to make the same mistakes in space that we constantly made in our planet, as it is the only chance we have - our future.
