Vangelis presents his new album in 2021: On “Juno To Jupiter,” the Greek composer and electronic music pioneer devotes himself to the mission of Juno.

In a total of 14 tracks, he takes his listeners on a multidimensional musical journey. He is supported by the Romanian soprano Angela Gheorghiu.

“Juno To Jupiter” was inspired by the mission of NASA’s Juno spacecraft to explore Jupiter. The music combines acoustic symphonic music with electronic sounds and sounds from the Juno launch on Earth, the probe and the subsequent journey of Juno sent back to Earth by the probe.

Juno owes her name to Roman mythology. The Roman god Jupiter, who corresponds to the Greek “sky father” Zeus, put a veil of clouds around himself to hide his mischief. His wife Juno (the Greek Hera), however, could see through the clouds and thus reveal her husband’s true nature. Compared to this, the Juno spacecraft looks through the clouds to reveal the planet Jupiter and its secrets.

Vangelis explained: “I wanted to emphasize the characteristics of Jupiter/Zeus and Juno/Hera, which according to the Greek theogony had a special relationship. I felt that I should represent Zeus/Jupiter only with sound, as the laws of music transform chaos into harmony, which moves everything and life itself. Unlike Hera/Juno, I felt the need for a voice. Angela Gheorghiu stunningly portrays Hera/Juno in this historical account of the mission to the planet Jupiter.”

“Juno To Jupiter” will be available on CD on September 29, 2021. Record lovers, however, will have to be patient. The double LP will be released on February 4, 2022

Vangelis, a pioneer of electronic music, created the perfect marriage between the acoustic and electronic worlds with his ever-expanding imagination and innovative experiments like no one before. His orchestrations for the new album “Juno to Jupiter” once again expand the horizons of electronic music and blur the line between it and acoustic symphonic music. The result is a breathtaking yet soothing musical journey through space

The work found its inspiration in NASA’s pioneering mission, the Juno space probe and its ongoing exploration of Jupiter. It is a multidimensional musical journey accompanied by the voice of opera superstar Angela Gheorghiu. The album includes sounds from Juno’s launch on Earth, from the probe and its environment, and from Juno’s subsequent journey sent back to Earth by the probe. The probe continues to study Jupiter and its moons: 365 million miles away from Earth at its closest point

NASA has awarded Vangelis with its Public Service Medal. In addition, the Minor Planet Center of the International Astronomical Union has named asteroid 6354, located between Jupiter and Mars, “Vangelis” in his honor to underscore the international impact and appreciation of his work and his relationship to the universe.
