Penderecki's "Cosmogonia."

Trivia -- As I recall, in Cosomogonia the chorus at one point even sings
some of the words from John Glenn's Freedom 7 transmission about seeing
small lights--"like fireflies"--moving along with his Mercury Capsule.
(They turned out to be solar reflections off of frozen droplets from a
urine dump, but hey, it was fun at the time...)
