Destination Moon was first performed by Cory Band at the 2017 European Championships in Ostend Belgium and is inspired by the Belgian comic-book hero Tintin. The first part is called ‘Science’ and describes the development of the theory of space travel. The second part is ‘Humanity’ which addresses human concerns and philosophies about our place in the universe. The third part is ‘The Launch’ which ends with a repetition of the words ‘Earth to Moon Rocket – are you receiving me?’ as the rocket vanishes into a tiny speck in the sky.

This concerto is one continuous movement that is clearly divided into 3 main sections. The first movement is moderately fast and rhapsodic in charachter followed by a second section with an accompanied cadenza in the middle the final movement is a fast-paced energetic crescendo that leads to the climax of the work at the end. The solo part is a long and endlessly varied narrative that embraces the whole technical vocabulary of the cello available to both composer and soloist with the harmonic aura being established by the orchestra from the beginning. The orchestra provides a platform of chords based on major and minor thirds which are the building blocks for the entireconcerto both for soloist and orchestra. The harmonic scenery created by the orchestra is very much at the service of the soloist always seeking to support and highlight the poetic and dramatic content of the solo part as well as providing a transparent and clear harmonic framework. The accompaniment for the piece is dense at times polyphonic and sometimes multi-layered but only towards the very end is the orchestra allowed to dominate in the final climax of the work. Commissioned by William Conway. First performed with the Scottish Chamber Orchestra in 1995. This concerto is one continuous movement that is clearly divided into 3 main sections.

This is a truly exceptional work and one of the finest in the repertoire for a string duet. The two parts are individual and equal at nearly all times in the music. There are times when one or the other instrument has a dominant melodic line but then the subsidiary part always has considerable interest. Written for Violin and Viola.
