Music from a Small Planet

The Voyager spacecraft, after their close photographic encounters with Jupiter and Saturn, will swing off into interstellar space. It Is a remote possibility they tnay eventually be found by an alien Intelligence but CARL SAGAN and some friends decided to attach a message just in case. Among other things they thought music would be nice, a sort of ultimate Desert Island Discs.
In this programme some of that music is played while Carl Sagan and his wife, Ann Druyan , talk about the project and their difficulties in choosing from among the world's masterpieces. Producers MARTIN GOLDMAN and R. CAREY TAYLOR
