Written as a companion to the work: Pluto, Op. 8
This work uses the same melody as Pluto, Op. 8 and Pluto from The Planets, Op. 19.
Charon, also known as (134340) Pluto I, is the largest of the five known satellites of the Planet Pluto. It has a mean radius of 606 km. It was discovered in 1978. With half the diameter and one eighth the mass of Pluto, Charon is a very large moon in comparison to its parent body. Its gravitational influence is such that the barycenter of the Plutonian system lies outside Pluto.
The composition was completed March 11, 2019
and the video created quickly on March 12th.
I will gladly share the score, parts and video file with anybody who wants to perform this, just check the contact page to find out how to contact me.
