Other Uses of The Work
Excerpts from Greenaway's "Reflections of Earth" have been repurposed by the Disney-owned American Broadcasting Company television network for television specials, including the Peter Jennings-hosted turn-of-the-millennium 24-hour marathon telecast "ABC 2000 Today" and also served as music for the network's coverage of US President Barack Obama's Inauguration on January 20, 2009.
Excerpts of the music have also been used by several Drum Corps International Corps, including the The Cadets in their 2000 show "We are the Future" which was based entirely on the music of the Millennium Celebration. Selections of that show included excerpts of the Prologue, Tapestry of Nations, Chaos and Meaning, The Sage of Time, and Promise.
A portion of the "Reflections of Earth" music is currently being used as the musical setting for a montage that is played in the airport waiting area for United States Customs Service at several US airports. The video alternates between an instructional film about the customs procedure and the montage smiling people welcoming travelers to the US.
Portions of the CD are also used in West Point Academy's annual Independence Day fireworks celebration and are broadcast in Cedar Point in Sandusky, Ohio.

“Neither a work of nature nor one of art we get to know when they have been finished; we must surprise them in the process of being created so as to understand them to some degree.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
