And She Moved Through the World... A Google Earth Tour



Tour by Angeline Bautista
Music by Chris Gonzalez
*Please make sure you have Google Earth downloaded*

This Google Earth Tour takes you to the very famous landmarks of the World that I would like to travel to someday.  It begins on the location of our classroom, in the Fine Arts building of San Francisco State University.  Then off we travel to these locations:
  • Mount Rushmore, Keystone, South Dakota, United States of America
  • Buckingham Palace, Westminster, London, United Kingdom
  • Palace of Versailles, Versailles, France
  • Vatican City, Rome, Italy
  • Pyramids of Giza, Eygpt
  • Taj Mahal, Agra, India
  • Kyoto Imperial Palace, Kyoto, Japan
  • St. Basil's Cathedral, Red Square, Moscow, Russia
  • World Trade Center, Lower Manhattan, New York, United States of America
After visiting those locations we come right back to where we start ed, in the Fine Arts Building.

The music that accompanies the tour, is a rendition of David Graham's "And She Moved Through the Fair," played live while the tour was recorded, by my boyfriend.  I chose to play this particular song because it sounds very adventurous and good music for travelling.  Also this song explores similarities that "Eastern" and "Western" music are, and that there was a connection between the two seemingly different musical worlds.  And with the tour, I explore places in both the Western world and Eastern world.
