Music of the Spheres is an album by English musician Mike Oldfield, released in the United Kingdom on 17 March 2008. The album, Oldfield's second album with Mercury Records and his first classical work, is based on the concept of a celestial Musica universalis. The album features New Zealand soprano Hayley Westenra (on "On My Heart") and Chinese pianist Lang Lang on six tracks. Music of the Spheres was nominated for a Classical Brit Award in 2009.

Musica universalis (literally universal music), also called Music of the spheres or Harmony of the Spheres, is an ancient philosophical concept that regards proportions in the movements of celestial bodies-the Sun, Moon, and planets-as a form of musica (the Medieval Latin term for music). This "music" is not usually thought to be literally audible, but a harmonic, mathematical or religious concept.

Mike Oldfield - Music Of The Spheres. Mike Oldfield - Music of the Spheres (2008 CD ALBUM) EXCELLENT CONDITION. On this album, Mike Oldfield takes that train of thought and applies it to his already spacey music to create this piece of work. Excellent for a guy who writes long instrumental voyages to come up with a concept like this and base an album around it, but the challenge becomes if he can actually write something colossal enough to justify being compared to astral bodies

Music of the Spheres (German: Music of the Spheres ) is an album by the British musician Mike Oldfield from 2008 After several excursions into the genre of chill out, this is a return to Oldfield's classic roots. Creation and publication history. As with previous albums can Oldfield elements of his mega seller Tubular Bells miteinfließen: How do you recognize a variant of the famous opening theme again ( Tracks 1 6 ), and also the "Tubular Bells" themselves as a tool again with this (Track 14). Track 14 is constructed as the title Finale ( from Tubular Bells 2003) and The Bells ( from Tubular Bells II ), since different instruments record them with the same subject; However, the instruments are not announced here, and there are only four: piano, glockenspiel, guitar and Tubular Bells.

If you're going to prove your detractors wrong better to do it in grand style. In his autobiography (Changeling 2007) Mike Oldfield describes how, after being the butt of patronising attitudes whilst a member of Kevin Ayers' band, he wanted to come up with something that would make everyone sit up and take him seriously. Well, it doesn't get much grander than Tubular Bells, and more or less the whole wide world (give or take a few million sales here and there) sat up and took notice. Perhaps because Oldfield's presence is limited to a few cameo appearances the album lacks the personality and tension which he achieved with side one of Tubular Bells. And if that seems unfair then it's because so much of Music Of The Spheres sounds like an old arrival rather than a new departure.

In his autobiography (Changeling 2007) Mike Oldfield describes how, after being the butt of patronising attitudes whilst a member of Kevin Ayers' band, he wanted to come up with something that would make everyone sit up and take him seriously. The phenomenal success didn't necessarily make him happy. Not surprisingly Music Of The Spheres does sound an awful lot like an Adiemus album at times.
