bach in outer space

The  Prelude and Fugue in Cm No.1 in Book II of Johann
Sebastian Bach's Well-Tempered Clavier are not by any
shot my Favorites.

They are just very Special to me.

Because they are Somewhere Out There in Outer Space.

What am I talking about?

I read a couple of years ago that Carl Sagan chose Bach's
Prelude & Fugue in Cm Book II to represent Our World Of
Music - to send up in the Voyager Spacecraft in 1977.

If if Aliens should stumble upon the Voyager - as it is hoped - perhaps upon
hearing Bach's Most Pure and Perfect Music - just maybe They will say:


Let's Give These Folks Antother Chance.


And just maybe they won't Obliterate us into Nothingness.













personally I think we desreve another chance - and get it right this time













that's what I hope
