From Gregorian chants to folk songs, and medieval ballads to carols, musicians and songwriters like Eric Clapton, Joni Mitchell and Neil Young have kept the bumped skin of the Moon inside the memory of lovers, nature followers, and even of astrologers.



The Moon, in Astrology, is the ruler of Cancer. The Moon represents our deepest personal needs, our basic habits and reactions, and our unconscious. Where the Sun acts, the Moon reacts; the Moon is our spontaneous and instinctual reactions. Imagine now how to put this into words... there you have lots of tunes & songs saved in original sheets and playable music formats.

The oldest recorded Moon song of this century and the most popularized of all Moon songs is “Shine On Harvest Moon,” written in 1903 by Nora Bayes and Jack Nortworth. And it is my due to place here a humble list of moon songs and its performers, all of them ranging the spheres of music such as New Age, Rock & Pop, Bluegrass & Country, Contemporary, and never forget the Oldies but Goodies.
