3 unusual facts about IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth


IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth

Eric and show director Don Dorsey traveled to China, the birthplace of fireworks, to meet with fireworks manufacturers to create these new dazzling effects.

Gavin Greenaway is the composer for IllumiNations: Reflections of Earth.


Georg Glockendon

Famed during his lifetime for his illuminations, he was also an industrious printer and published a number of the works of Erhard Etzlaub.

Master of the Playing Cards

Many of his engravings, especially the cards, contain compositional elements that also occur in the miniatures of the Giant Bible of Mainz of 1452-3 and other illuminations made in Mainz between then and 1482, including at least one illuminated copy of the Gutenberg Bible, the copy now in Princeton University library.

Peronet Lamy

In 1436 Lamy completed a Nativity scene for the frontispiece of a Gospel book commissioned by Pietro Donato; the rest of the illuminations in this work were done by Johannes de Monterchio.

Quentin Poulet

However Janet Backhouse has suggested that the manuscript was originally a product of the reign of Edward IV, with the decoration left incomplete on his death, and then with illuminations added around 1500, presumably under Poulet's supervision.

Steven Gerber

During his years as a graduate student, he wrote serial and non-twelve-tone works, such as the a cappella choral works "Dylan Thomas Settings" and "Illuminations" (Rimbaud), and throughout the remainder of the 1970s most of his works were twelve-tone.
