Ode to Joy - Beethoven. The joy of learning, understanding, and discovery - and the revelling in unbridled curiosity.

 

Eleanor Rigby - the Beatles. Lonely, unrewarded, and often chasing a futile and misguided hope.

I just typed 'Science Anthem' into Youtube, with some rather pleasing results.

They're a bit cheesy, but the sentiment is wonderful. here are some of them.

I particularly like this suggestion

"Ode to Joy - Beethoven. The joy of learning, understanding, and discovery - and the revelling in unbridled curiosity."

I think this version covers the truth and beauty of science as well as any other work ever has or will.

The sun is a mass of incandescent gas, a gigantic nuclear furnace...

 

The sun is a miasma of incandescent plasma.

The sun's not simply made out of gas: no, no no

Having music for science would be like having music for blacksmithing. You can't do that without ending up having some comedy in the song.
