ISEN-ASTC-L is a service of the Association of Science-Technology Centers Incorporated, a worldwide network of science museums and related institutions. ***************************************************************************** The NY Times website for the story Erich posted also mentions some websites for science songs and song writers (I'm proud to claim Jef Poskanzer in my extended family): Where the Quarks Make Music All the Day For more songs that use science, here are some Web sites. * Archive of Dr. Walter F. Smith, professor of physics at Haverford College * Science Songwriters' Association * Archive of Dr. Greg Crowther, biophysicist at the University of Washington * Archive of William Stirrat's science songs for children kept by Jef Poskanzer, a software developer * Artichoke's site I'm actively looking for music that would be appropriate for programs and activities in our upcoming exhibition, Linnaeus & America. (Our museum has an enthusiastic choral group.) A web search turned up several interesting possibilities: *a musical entertainment, Vivat Linnaeus! by Sarah Elliott for the NY Linnaean Society *a Linnaeus song, written and composed by Jan Stein Carter, Biology,Univ. of Cincinnati - Clermont College (you can hear her sing it at http://biology.clc.uc.edu/courses/bio104/Linnaeus.htm) *a piece inspired by Linnaeus's Floral Clock (can't find ref right now) *a wordless Canto del vagabondo : in memoria di Carolus Linnaeus, Anders Eliasson, 1979, publihsed 2003 (orchestra, women's chorus, boy soprano) (catalogue entry in Columbia Univ Library) Please do let me know about others.
