Sonatas for Earth — cover

Welcome to Earth orbit, and three Bach Sonatas transcribed for guitar.

Each Sonata has four movements – with freedom to explore Earth views as they align with music. Performed with depth and beauty by Dr. Nicholas Goluses, Master Guitarist at the Eastman School of Music in Rochester, NY

Creating this movie, Dr. Goluses took his mind on an Earth orbital journey watching several Earth movies by astronauts. Then he tuned into his heart. He selected these Bach Violin Sonatas that he transcribed and recorded for guitar as part of his Doctoral training. 30 years later, he wouldn’t change a note. This is masterful music. And some nice views of Earth!
