Julian Lloyd Webber writes: My father composed his four part song
The Moon
in 1959 to words by W.H Davies.
The text — as in so many of his word settings — equates nature with humanity: “Thy beauty haunts me, heart and soul”. Although
The Moon
remained unperformed until his centenary year in 2014 he evidently felt strongly enough about it to create this miniature for string orchestra.”
This work has been recorded in a performance conducted by Julian Lloyd Webber, available from Naxos: No. 8.573250.
