10 musical choice from the Golden Record:

1. Greetings from Earth
2. Wedding song – Peru
3. Mozart – Queen of the night – Eda Moser
4. Panpipes and drum song – Peru
5. Bach – Gavotte en Rondo – A Grumiaux
6. Beethoven 5th, part 1, Otto Klemperer
7. Cranes in their nest – Japan (Shakuhachi)
8. Navajo Night Chant – America
9. Melancholy Blues – L Armstrong & His Hot Seven
10. Voyager Golden Record

I chose these based on the variety of musical instrument used as well as the tone and melody created. There is a mixture of instrument created using drums, pipes, piano, flute, voice, etc. I also purposely organized it in this order because I feel that a greeting from Earth should present a nice introduction rather than beginning from various musical points. Since we are unaware of whether there are other intelligent beings out there in the vast universe, we are also unaware if they understand music as we do. If anything, verbal language might be easier to decipher than music, especially music without lyrics. So, a greeting message that encompasses various language, codes, numerical equations might help whoever receiving this message better understand human before trying to understand music.
