The Longest Song in History

ASLSP (As SLow aS Possible) is a musical piece composed by John Cage and is the subject of one of the longest-lasting musical performances yet undertaken. It was originally written in 1987 for organ and is adapted from the earlier work ASLSP 1985; a typical performance of the piano piece lasts for about 20 to 70 minutes.^[1] In 1985, Cage opted to omit the detail of exactly how slowly the piece should be played.

The current organ performance of the piece at St. Burchardi church in Halberstadt, Germany, began in 2001 and is……

I can’t even yawn that long. But beyond that, one wonders what statement Cage was making. Was it about laughing at the tradition of tradition? Was it about the immortality of music? Or was he simply angry at church organists?cheduled to have a duration of 639 years, ending in 2640.

Years ago, I had a birthday at Spago’s in L.A.( see picture at right) The pianist playing that night seemed a bit arrogant, especially considering he was either having an “off” night , or , as I suspect, had a tin ear and no sense of verve or timing.

I decided to play a joke on him, and noticing he was accepting ten dollars a song request, I calmly took out a 100 dollar bill and asked him to play Happy Birthday TEN times. By the fourth rendition, the diners were looking over, eyes raised, perplexed. By the sixth version, piano boy was sweating. He never made it to the 8th repeat because he became so flustered, so worried, he practically ran to our table to return the entire 100 dollars. Of course we did our best to stifle the laughter welling up inside. Our fellow diners stopped by our table as they left, winking and smiling. It was a birthday to remember. And the longest song I ever experienced.;)

My Mother, Elsebeth Schoenberger, the Resistance Fighter

73 years ago, on a cool spring afternoon, my mother’s country was invaded by the Nazi’s. Her small Danish town suddenly found itself in the clutches of the diabolical Nazi war machine. The country was joined in subjection by France and Netherlands. That spring, the world looked on in horror. Later that year, London would endure a Christmas season from hell, with Santa Claus nowhere to be found, and the only sleigh in the sky seemed to be the horrific V1 and V2 rockets causing death and destruction from above. For my mother, a hopeful and innocent 11 year old girl, the advance of the Nazi thugs was the second major blow in her life. She had lost her father 4 years before. He was an M.D. and never made it past his 38th year.I never knew my grandfather.

The German invasion of Denmark on 9 April 1940 was part of a wider campaign in Scandinavia designed partly to provide bases for the German navy and partly to secure the German supply of iron ore from Sweden. The main target of the German operation was Norway, but the occupation of Denmark was also judged to be necessary to protect the southern end of the sea route to Narvik, the winter port for the iron ore trade.

Planning work for the invasion began in January 1940. The operation was given the codename Weserübung (Weser Exercise), with the invasion of Denmark known as Weserubung Süd (Weser Exercise South). The tiny Danish army was to be overrun by two infantry divisions (the 170th and 198th) and the 11th rifle brigade (motorized). Landings were to take place at Copenhagen, Middlefart, Esbjerg, Tyborøn, Korsør, Gjedser and Nyborg, while more troops would invade Jutland across the land border with Germany.

The plan worked perfectly. A small naval expedition, led by the minelayer Danzig entered Copenhagen harbour at 5.00am on 9 April, and landed troops who were able to seize the citadel. Ålborg airfield at the northern tip of Denmark was captured by German paratroops, and at 7.30 am an infantry battalion landed at the airfield. At 5.25 am the land invasion began. Here there was some fighting, but the defenders of the Danish border were quickly overwhelmed. Further resistance was clearly pointless, and the Danish government was forced to agree to a German ultimatum to end the fighting. King Christian ordered a cease fire, to start at 7.20am. Denmark would be occupied by the Germans until the end of the war.

The invasion seemed to waken the ancient Viking psyche of the Danish people. My mother, who just months before had been playing with dolls and dreaming of a career in academia, marrying a Prince Charming, and living happily after, had to confront poverty, violence , death and intimidation daily.

So what did she do in light of these overwhelming odds? She fought back. She become an active member of the Danish Resistance She braved detention and even execution.During the 5 years of daily challenge and privation, she learned to combat the enemy, carrying messages and weapons for the Danish resistance,every day risking her life and freedom for her country. This little Lutheran girl found the courage to face impossible odds,and deep within the wall of her construct, over 65 years later, she wrote a book, chronicling her experiences.

The book is becoming popular.It’s topical. In this new global village, one need not look far to find countries swept up in the grip of totalitarianism.To my mother,occupy has nothing to do with camping in a park. My mother lived a “Danish Spring” in 1940,she fought thuggery,brutality and impossible odds, and though she lost her childhood in the process, she gained a sagacity well beyond her tender years,and her story is one that must be told, now more than ever. Her book, Birgetta’s War now speaks to a new crop of resistance fighters, children facing the spector of evil, children finding hope in the most unnatural of places, the fog of war.

This week she turns 84. In the last 3 years, she has become a widow, an author and, to the delight of everyone, a new bride. Nothing new for this incredible and inspirational figure. Happy birthday Mom. Please visit her website, and buy the book

Robert Levin, American Mozart

The amazing talents of Robert Levin continue to stun and delight audiences globally. Beyond my friend’s surpreme musical gifts, are his powers of musical history interpetation. Levin simply channels Mozart, like nobody else on the planet perhaps.

His exquisite wife Ya Fei is breathtakingly talented as well, and they perform as a husband wife duo. carving out their own highly defined musical niche, much to the world’s delight. At any given time, Robert will call me up to chat, and he is always somewhere exotic. From Finland to Genoa, to Jerusalem to Moscow, you need a team navagational experts to keep up with this towering figure. Robert Levin has a number of incredible Youtube movies that are, in my opinion, highly education and entertaining. Its most rare to find someone who understands the delicate balance needed to appreciate the fragility and hence the beauty of Classical Music. Who is Robert Levin? Well…..

Pianist Robert Levin has been heard throughout the United States, Europe, Australia, and Asia, in recital, as soloist, and in chamber concerts. His solo engagements include the orchestras of Atlanta, Berlin, Birmingham, Boston, Chicago, Cleveland, Detroit, Los Angeles, Montreal, Toronto, Utah and Vienna on the Steinway with such conductors as James Conlon, Bernard Haitink, Sir Charles Mackerras, Sir Neville Marriner, Seiji Ozawa, Sir Simon Rattle and Joseph Silverstein. On period pianos he has appeared with the Academy of Ancient Music, the English Baroque Soloists, the Handel & Haydn Society, the London Classical Players, the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment and the Orchestre Révolutionnaire et Romantique, with Christopher Hogwood, Sir Charles Mackerras, Nicholas McGegan, Sir Roger Norrington, and Sir John Eliot Gardiner. He has performed frequently at such festivals as Sarasota, Oregon Bach, Tanglewood, Ravinia, Bremen, Lockenhaus, and the Mozartwoche in Salzburg. As a chamber musician he has a long association with violist Kim Kashkashian and appears frequently with his wife, pianist Ya-Fei Chuang, in duo recitals and with orchestra. After more than a quarter century as an artist faculty member at the Sarasota Music Festival he succeeded Paul Wolfe as Artistic Director in 2007.
Robert Levin is renowned for his restoration of the Classical period practice of improvised embellishments and cadenzas; his Mozart and Beethoven performances have been hailed for their active mastery of the Classical musical language. He has made recordings for DG Archiv, CRI, Decca/Oiseau-Lyre, Deutsche Grammophon, ECM, Klavierfestival Ruhr, New York Philomusica, Nonesuch, Philips, and SONY Classical. Among these are the complete Bach concertos with Helmuth Rilling as well as the English Suites and the Well-Tempered Clavier (on five keyboard instruments) for Hänssler’s 172-CD Edition Bach-akademie. Other recordings include a Beethoven concerto cycle with Sir John Eliot Gardiner and the Orchestre Révoluionnaire et Romantique for Archiv, a Mozart concerto cycle with Christopher Hogwood and the Academy of Ancient Music for Decca/Oiseau-Lyre and the first volume of a Mozart sonata cycle for Deutsche Harmonia Mundi. A passionate advocate of new music, Robert Levin has commissioned and premiered a large number of works, including Joshua Fineberg’s Veils (2001), John Harbison’s Second Sonata (2003), Yehudi Wyner’s piano concerto Chiavi in mano (Pulitzer Prize, 2006), Bernard Rands’ Preludes(2007) and Thomas Oboe Lee’s Piano Concerto (2007). His recording of the complete piano music of Henri Dutilleux was released by ECM this year.

Please look at this video below and tell me Robert Levin is not one of the brightest stars in the America’s skies.

Robert Levin studied piano with Louis Martin and composition with Stefan Wolpe in New York. He worked with Nadia Boulanger in Fontainebleau and Paris while still in high school, afterwards attending Harvard. Upon graduation he was invited by Rudolf Serkin to head the theory department of the Curtis Institute of Music, a post he left after five years to take up a professorship at the School of the Arts, SUNY Purchase, outside of New York City. In 1979 he was Resident Director of the Conservatoire américain in Fontainebleau, France, at the request of Nadia Boulanger, and taught there from 1979 to 1983. From 1986 to 1993 he was professor of piano at the Staatliche Hochschule für Musik in Freiburg im Breisgau, Germany. President of the International Johann Sebastian Bach Competition and a member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, he is Dwight P. Robinson, Jr. Professor of the Humanities at Harvard University.
In addition to his performing activities, Robert Levin is a noted theorist and Mozart scholar, and is the author of a number of articles and essays on Mozart. A member of the Akademie für Mozartforschung, his completions of Mozart fragments are published by Bärenreiter, Breitkopf & Härtel, Carus, Peters, and Wiener Urtext Edition, and have been recorded and performed throughout the world. Levin’s cadenzas to the Mozart violin concertos have been recorded by Gidon Kremer with Nikolaus Harnoncourt and the Vienna Philharmonic for Deutsche Grammophon and published by Universal-Edition. Henle has issued his cadenzas to the flute, flute and harp, oboe, horn and bassoon concertos and to the Beethoven violin concerto. His reconstruction of the Symphonie concertante in E-flat major for four winds and orchestra, K.297B, was premièred by the Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra at the Mozartwoche in Salzburg, and has subsequently been performed worldwide. The first of the many recordings of the work, by Philips, won the 1985 Grand Prix International du Disque.

In August 1991 Robert Levin’s completion of the Mozart Requiem was premièred by Helmuth Rilling at the European Music Festival in Stuttgart, Germany, to a standing ovation. His completion of the Mozart Mass in C minor, K. 427, commissioned by Carnegie Hall, was premiered by Rilling in New York in January 2005 and in Europe two months later. Both works have been performed worldwide and are published by Carus-Verlag.

Ufo case report: Rogue History

UFO ‘battle’ over Nuremberg, Germany in 1561

Date: April 14th 1561 Dawn
Location: Nuremberg, Germany

Source: Various sources

Below are descriptions of the event from various sources: Prepare to be amazed. Thomas Schoenberger Rogue Historian
—————

At dawn of April 14, in the sky of Nuremberg (Germany), a lot of men and women saw a very alarming spectacle where various objects were involved, including balls “approximately 3 in the length, from time to time, four in a square, much remained insulated, and between these balls, one saw a number of crosses with the color of blood. Then one saw two large pipes, in which small and large pipes, were 3 balls, also four or more. All these elements started to fight one against the other.” (Gazette of the town of Nuremberg).

The events lasted one hour and had such repercussions that an artist, Hans Glaser, drew a woodcut of it at the time. It describes two immense black cylinders launching many blue and black spheres, blood red crosses, and flying discs. They seem to fight a battle in the sky, it also seems that some of these spheres and objects have crashed outside the city.

(UFOs at Close Sight – Ufologie.net)

—————

Today in Rogue History, an eerie battle raged in the skies above Nuremberg, Germany. It began at dawn,April 14th 1561, as dozens, if not hundreds, of crosses, globes and tubes fought each other above the city. It ended an hour later, when “the globes in the small and large rods flew into the sun,” and several of the other objects crashed to earth and vanished in a thick cloud of smoke.

According to the Nuremberg Gazette, the “dreadful apparition” filled the morning sky with “cylindrical shapes from which emerged black, red, orange and blue-white spheres that darted about.” Between the spheres, there were “crosses with the color of blood.” This “frightful spectacle”was witnessed by “numerous men and women.” Afterwards, a “black, spear-like object” appeared. The author of the Gazette warned that “the God-fearing will by no means discard these signs, but will take it to heart as a warning of their merciful Father in heaven, will mend their lives and faithfully beg God, that he avert His wrath, including the well-deserved punishment, on us, so that we may, temporarily here and perpetually there, live as His children.” In the same year, a Lutheran clergyman on progress in Nuremberg wrote: “…God the Almighty has … placed in the heavens many horrible and hitherto unheard of signs… We have seen far more signs now than in any other year. The sun and the moon have been darkened on a number of occasions. A crucifix in the sky was seen, as were biers and coffins with black men beside them. Further, rods and whips and many other signs were seen in a multitude of places… and scarcely a year has passed of late without an eclipse of the sun or moon…”

Nuremberg, Germany. April 14th 1561. The Hans Glaser wood-cut from 1566, 5 years after the event and in the same year as the Basle report.

At sunrise on the 14th April 1561, the citizens of Nuremberg beheld “A very frightful spectacle.” The sky appeared to fill with cylindrical objects from which red, black, orange and blue white disks and globes emerged. Crosses and tubes resembling cannon barrels also appeared whereupon the objects promptly “began to fight one another.” After about an hour of battle, the objects seemed too catch fire and fell to Earth, where they turned too steam. The witnesses took this display as a divine warning. This report is unique in the annals of Ufology, in that it has never been repeated. There is no record of such “objects” in either local or German national folklore. The surviving Town records from the period, give no indication of any unrest either civil or external. Given the uniqueness of the incident, it appears that something supernatural or paranormal took place.

April 1561 – A War In Heaven?

One of the most astounding of documented sightings of aerial phenomena took place in 1561 over Nuremberg, Germany. What was described could only be called a war in the heavens, with a wide variety of craft ranging from spheres to spear-like cylinders to crosses. The sky was apparently filled with the machines, clashing in battle. Comets and such were well identified and charted in this period, so it is highly unlikely that what the people witnessed was merely a celestial phenomenon like a ‘meteor shower’, as some debunkers suggest. Rather, what is described are physical objects of unique detail and shapes, in ‘battle’ for over an hour. The battle was such that a winner was perceived as well. Spheroid UFOs were seen emerging from cylindrical ‘motherships’. At the conclusion of the battle, it seems a magnificent, black, spear-like super-ship of some kind came upon the scene…

It began at dawn, as dozens, if not hundreds, of crosses, globes and tubes fought each other above the city. It ended an hour later, when “the globes in the small and large rods flew into the sun,” and several of the other objects crashed to earth and vanished in a thick cloud of smoke.

—————–

A broadsheet that dates from 1561, held in the Wickiana Collection of Switzerland’s Zurich Central Library, describes an ancient battle of ufos over the skies of Nuremberg, Germany, on April 14th of that very same year. At sunrise, many people witnessed large numbers of dark red, blue and black ‘globes’ or ‘plates’ near the sun, ‘some three in a row, now and then four in a square, also some alone. And amongst these globes some blood colored crosses were seen.’ The document also refers to two great tubes ‘ in which three, four and more globes were seen. They then all began to fight each other.’ This went on for about an hour, until ‘they all fell…… from the sun and sky down to the earth, producing alot of steam’. Beneath the globes a long object that looked like a great black spear was also described as being seen.

(Subversive Element) Now for my pet theory. The winter of 1560 was a wet one in Germany. There were reported outbreaks of “wolves tooth”, the German name for Ergot poisoning. Ergot or ergot fungi refers to a group of fungi of the genus Claviceps.^[1] The most prominent member of this group is Claviceps purpurea. This fungus grows on ryeand related plants, and produces alkaloids that can cause ergotism in humans and other mammals who consume grains contaminated with its fruiting structure (called ergot sclerotium).^[2]^[3] Claviceps includes about 50 known species, mostly in the tropical regions. Economically significant species include C. purpurea(parasitic on grasses and cereals), C. fusiformis (on pearl millet, buffel grass), C. paspali (on dallis grass), and C. africana^[4] (on sorghum). C. purpurea most commonly affects outcrossing species such as rye (its most common host), as well as triticale, wheat and barley. It affects oats only rarely. Could the people of Nuremberg have actually be on some strange psychotropic excursion, courtesy of the accidental consumption of a bad batch of rye bread? This phenomenon was known to occur throughout the middle ages in Europe.Whole villages went mad due to sporadic outbreaks of Egotism. It might be more mundane than UFOs raging in futuristc conflict over a reframation era sky, but the rogue historian thinks this possibility not only exists, but should be explored.There should also be a look into the possibility this was a meteor shower,and there were sonic booms which happen when meteors strike the earth. This happened in Russia in the early 20th century and there were miles of flattened trees due to the impact.We are due for another such event soon, perhaps even a meteor year in 2013..( my conclusion based on my studies) and perhaps this is what occurred so long ago in a Nuremburg, Germany….. Thomas Schoenberger

Fredrick Scarf,The Man Who, in 1980, Predicted Meteors would arrive

3 decades ago, I was a struggling composer, interested in the oddest things. From Paleontology to Plasma Physics (from Ancient Greek: φύσις physis “nature”), to reading and retaining vast quantities of classical Greco Roman material, Seneca, Pliny the Elder, and Cicero… the good stuff. I also had a keen interest in space, comets,asteroids and meteors.Like most kids I suppose.

One day, I spied a beautiful young lady staring at me. She was a lithe brunnete with amazing grey green cat eyes. We fell madly and promptly in love, and I learned,beneath her external beauty lay a keen intellect. We were both 20 years old and the world was indeed our oyster. In time, I met her father, and we took a liking to each other. Soon her mother was cooking dinners and I became , by no fault of my own, a member of the Scarf salon of San Fernando Valley. Fredrick and I had an odd first conversation..We were introduced, and proceeded to speak of small matters, the weather, Carter, the traffic, and all of a sudden, I saw a paper in his hands, an acedemic paper on plasma physics ! We forgot the traffic and immediately began a lively discussion regarding things not of this earth, the variants of plasma, and interplnartary medium ( cosmic dust, hot plasma, dust), the great comet of 1680, the comets of 1531 and 1533, the molecular make up of comets, and outer space exploration and expectation.. I had no idea I was in conversation with America’s leading space theorist, but I realized it minutes into our exchange.Now for a little background on space plasma.

The term “interplanetary” appears to have been first used in print in 1691 by the scientist Robert Boyle: “The air is different from the æther (or vacuum) in the… interplanetary spaces” Boyle Hist. Air.

The notion that space is considered to be a vacuum filled with an “aether“, or just a cold, dark vacuum continued up until the 1950s (see below).

In 1898, American astronomer Charles Augustus Young wrote: “Inter-planetary space is a vacuum, far more perfect than anything we can produce by artificial means…” (The Elements of Astronomy, Charles Augustus Young, 1898).

Since plasma is the “fluid glue” in which the planets and comets and asteroids adhere to, the plasma is also super conductive, and is affected by gravity and CME’s ( Coronal Mass Eruptions, or for the rest of us, sun tantrums) Fredrick, an intuitive man if ever one was born, sensed my intense interest in such celestial mattersOver the next couple of months,he took me under his wing, and taught me things about the heavens I thought no earthly human could know. His kindness to me, and his patience, are lessons I still treasure. And class, he had more of that then most men on this planet.

One day,I went to see his daughter and after taking her to our favorite Thai joint, I dropped her off and snuck into Fredrick’s study for a chat. Fredrick was working on his usual scholarly pursuits, this time trying to extrapolate where life would be found, if it was to be found in outer space…a postulate he questioned..I interrupted him and exclaimed that we might someday inject life into other planets/solar systems, like a hyperdermic needle injects antibiotics into the bloodstream. Fredrick kept quiet, and I thought I had blundered and said something stupid again, a fault that I am guilty of even today. A month later, Fredrick called me into his study, and showed me a paper. He was smiling, and obviously enjoying the moment. He told me that evening that I had “innocently” stumbled upon a question worthy of great contemplation, and urged me to become a scholar in plasma physics. He was not joking I found out. The 11 page paper explained in detail that my idea was particularly meritious and he planned, at some point, to “get it to the right people” I was humbled to see this great human being, taking the time to work out a complex therum for his daughers beau.I was also amazed at just how well he understood what I, a teenager with little in the way of writing technical papers on lofty subjects, was trying to say. But Fredrick “got” people. An affable and charming man,he could also out think everyone he met. You see , Fredrick was a genius in the truest form.

Fredrick built the Voyager. And much more….Fredrick explored Halleys comet..I kid you not. Fredrick believed we would see non man made space debris hitting earth within 40 years,and this prediction was made in 1980. He was casual in his delivery, but serious. He said, Thomas, there is an asteroid belt, and a better chance than not that we have ” cosmic events” Most likely, he explained, the sea would be the delivery point. But, he added, population centers would, in his opinion, be affected. He said, several years later, the greatest part of Star Wars, a program developed by Reagan, was the potential to deflect, or push, asteroids out of our path. In light of recent events, it seems Dr.Scarf knew what he was talking about.

Fredrick was one of the few men responsible for fast track developments in the US Space program. His Plasma Antennae are still, over 20 years after his passing, viable and groundbreaking. I have enclosed the obituary of this true hero of America, a man who peered into the heavens and came back with answers, answers we are only now beginning to understand. Fredrick’s daughter, still a close and trusted friend has sent me two pictures today, unseen by the public until this post. The pictures show both a 1/25 model of the Voyager and Dr. Scarf’s plasma antennae…..Before viewing these pictures, unseen until today, please read the obituary of America’s comet man Fredrick Scarf. A special thank you to Elizabeth , his amazing daughter and still my dearest of friends, for giving me the right to present your father’s pictures.

Obituaries : Frederick L. Scarf; Space Scientist at TRW Had a Worldwide Impact

July 20, 1988|LEE DYE | Times Science Writer

- German Woodcut Great Comet

Frederick L. Scarf, a theoretical physicist who played a major role with nearly every space agency in the world, has died in Moscow after collapsing last week during an international space meeting there.

Scarf, 57, chief scientist for space research and technology at TRW (Thompson-Ramo-Wooldridge) in Redondo Beach, was widely regarded as the world’s leading expert in a field of profound importance to space research–the study of the plasma waves that move through the subatomic particles, gas and solar wind of the interplanetary medium.

Friends who were with him said he appeared to have been in perfect health before he collapsed at Moscow’s Space Research Institute on July 12. He was rushed to a Moscow hospital with what appeared to have been a brain tumor, although no official cause of death has been announced.

His wife, Mimi, of Sherman Oaks, flew to Moscow and was there when he died Sunday.

Planning Missions

Scarf was in Moscow to help plan future missions in the Soviet space program, in which he had been involved for more than a decade. He was one of the lead scientists in the twin missions to the Martian moon of Phobos that the Soviet Union launched earlier this month, and he was to have played a similar role in that country’s ambitious exploration of Mars during the years ahead.

Scarf was also involved in several European programs, including the European Space Agency’s mission to Halley’s Comet three years ago, and he served in a key role with the Japanese space program. In addition, he was involved in numerous U.S. space projects, including serving as principal investigator for plasma wave experiments on Pioneers 8 and 9, Voyagers 1 and 2, and the Pioneer/Venus Orbiter.

As a scientist, Scarf came along at just the right moment, when the tools were first being put into space that could unlock secrets that had long puzzled physicists. Like the few others who understood his field, Scarf wondered what effect a celestial body like the Earth had on space as it moved through it.

He helped design the instruments that measured that effect, demonstrating something that many had theorized but none had been able to prove. As the Earth, or any other large body, moves through space it is preceded by a “bowshock,” a plasma wave pushed by the planet through space, just as the bow of a boat pushes through the water.

Detected by Antennas

The antennas that Scarf put on numerous spacecraft detected that effect. Electrically charged particles in space bombarded the craft, and the number of “hits” rose dramatically as the spacecraft passed through the wave of increasingly dense particles.

Scarf made a recording of the sounds the particles made as they hit the antennas. To almost anyone else, it sounded like static, rapidly changing in pitch and frequency as the spacecraft passed through the wave. But to Scarf, it was music, which he once described as sounding like a choir of birds.

As gregarious as he was scholarly, Scarf delighted in working his way around bureaucratic roadblocks. He was one of five U.S. scientists who continued working with the Soviet space program even after the National Aeronautics and Space Administration was prohibited from direct participation. Scarf went to work part time for UCLA and used that academic tie to get a grant from NASA to continue his work with the Soviets.

Thomas Schoenberger Inks Deal with Pet Company that Produces Sherpa’s Pet Carriers

Thomas Schoenberger, composer of the successful series music for infants announces that his music will be included in a new improved version of the popular Sherpa pet carriers. The Sherpa line, carried internationally, has garnered much positive press for creating micro environments for pets travelling with their owners. Quaker Pet Group http://www.quakerpetgroup.com/, a leading promoter of health products for pets worldwide, has chosen Thomas Schoenberger’s compositions to be “implanted” in the newest round of the ever popular Sherpa’s pet carriers.

No stranger to composing music to soothe the animal spirit,Schoenberger released his Dog Gone Songs CD series in 2006, and quickly gained a new international fan base, per owners. The story is interesting to say the least.Schoenbereger’s baby CD’s were secretly tested and a number of Guide Dogs for the Blind facilities and oddly enough, the animals observed seemed to be calmed by the music.

The resulting CD series Dog Gone Songs became a cult classic in both the US and Asia, with product placement at Pet Co and Smart Pet, and a slew of satisfied pet owners reporting positive results from their pets.

With the scheduled 2013 release of Schoenberger’s music into the Sherpa carriers, a whole new generation of pet owners, and pets for that matter, will be introduced the the music of Thomas Schoenberger.
