Symphony No. 7 (Rautavaara)
Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara wrote his Symphony No. 7, subtitled Angel of Light, in 1994. It was originally known as The Bloomington Symphony, as it was commissioned to celebrate the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra.[1] Belonging to his Angel Series, inspired by childhood dreams and revelations, the symphony has won wide popularity for its deep spirituality. The premier performance was by the Bloomington Symphony Orchestra in 1994. In 1997 the premiere recording, by Segerstam, was nominated for the Grammy Award for "Best Classical Contemporary Composition".[2]

gollark: It would be possible, although stupid, to make a cryptocurrency where new blocks can only be issued by GTech™ bee cuboids using a private signing key, although this may break some of the security incentives.
gollark: This is just a feature of proof of work, not all cryptocurrency. Not that there are good alternatives right now.
gollark: Well, Nim is basically compiled statically typed compile-time-instead-of-runtime-metaprogramming-capable somewhat immature mildly more expression-oriented Python.
