The list I compiled below was chosen because I think it is important to focus on music that demonstrates human voices, a wide range of instruments, sounds, and styles. I wanted to provide whatever life form that may one day listen to the album with sounds of nature (crane song), and sounds that are made from humans (singing), along with the musical instruments of the modern era (Johnny B. Goode). I also chose several Bach and Mozart pieces as I believe they contain great mathematical precision which could make them more universally interpretable.<\/p>\n<p><strong>My Choices<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<div id=\"question_9200720_answer_9584_label\" class=\"answer_label\">Track 1: Brandenburg Concerto (First Movement)<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<div id=\"question_9200720_answer_3742_label\" class=\"answer_label\">Track 2: Kinds of Flowers<\/div>\n<div class=\"answer_label\">Track 3: Percussion (Senegal)<\/div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"answer\">\n<div id=\"question_9200720_answer_4942_label\" class=\"answer_label\">Track 6: El Cascabel<\/div>\n<div class=\"answer_label\">Track 7: Johnny B.
