The Dark Side of the Moon
Arranged by Michael Gancz MY '21
Released in 1973, Pink Floyd's groundbreaking album The Dark Side of The Moon remains a poignant and pertinent symbol of youth counterculture to this day. Its 10 tracks address themes
of mortality, mentality, and the human condition with a stark, piercing directness. The album can be thought to model a human life from birth to death: a heartbeat motif on the bass drum can
often be heard permeating across textures and tempi, leading the listener from the electric dissonance of Speak to Me to the bittersweet climax of Eclipse — with ample highs and lows along the way. DPops invites you to come along on a complex and colorful trip far, far away from Kansas in celebration of one of the most successful albums of all time.
