Composed by Paul Raphael, Explorers on the Moon, the sequel to his 2017 work Destination Moon, was composed in 2019 to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the 1969 Moon Landings. It is inspired by the Belgian author Hergé and his most famous creation, Tintin. The music uses Hergé’s story from 1950 almost twenty years prior to the first ever moon landing - following Tintin and his fellow adventurers as they become the first humans on the Moon. This fantastic piece is split into three parts, titled ‘Space’, ‘Nightmare Land’ and ‘The Journey Home’ and is one of the most spectacular contest pieces in recent years.Explorer s on the Moon is een vervolg op Paul Raphaels eerdere werk Destination Moon uit 2017. Het werd in 2019 gecomponeerd ter gelegenheid van de vijftigste gedenkdag van de maanlanding in 1969. De inspiratiebron was Kuifje de beroemdste creatie van de Belgische auteur en striptekenaar Georges Remi, die bekender is onder zijn pseudoniem Hergé. Het uitgangspunt voor de muziek is diens verhaal uit 1950 waarin Kuifje en zijn medeavonturiers de maan bezoeken, bijna twintig jaar voor de eerste échte maanlanding. Dit fantastische werk, dat uit drie delen ‘Space’, ‘Nightmare Land’ en ‘The Journey Home’ bestaat, is een van de meest spectaculaire wedstrijdwerken uitrecente jaren. Explorers on the Moon, komponiert von Paul Raphael, entstand 2019 anlässlich des 50. Jahrestages der Mondlandung (1969) und ist die Fortsetzung seines 2017 erschienenen Werkes Destination Moon. Das Stück wurde von dem belgischen Autor Hergé und seiner berühmtesten Erfindung, Tim und Struppi, inspiriert. Die Musik orientiert sich an Hergés Geschichte aus dem Jahr 1950, in der Tim und seine Begleiter als erste Menschen den Mond betreten fast zwanzig Jahre vor der ersten Mondlandung. Dieses fantastische Stück besteht aus drei Sätzen: Space“, Nightmare Land“ und The Journey Home“. Es zählt zu den spektakulärsten Wettbewerbsstücken der letzten Jahre.Écrite par Paul Raphael en 2019 pour marquer le 50e anniversaire des premiers hommes sur la lune, en 1969, Explorers on the Moon fait suite Destination Moon, du même compositeur. Cette nouvelle œuvre s’inspire de l’auteur belge Hergé et de sa création la plus célèbre, Tintin. La musique est fondée sur l’histoire de On a marché sur la Lune, qui fait suite Objectif Lune, histoire écrite en 1950 anticipant la réalité de près de vingt ans , qui raconte l’aventure de Tintin et de ses compagnons sur notre satellite. Cette œuvre remarquable en trois mouvements (« Space », « Nightmare Land » et « The Journey Home ») est une des pièces de concours les plusspectaculaires de ces dernières années.

No.42 (In the Alps) could perhaps best be described as a melodrama. It combines many of the subjects that fascinate me: the relationship of text narrative and musical narrative, the history of opera, early cinema, the theatrical practices of the nineteenthcentury, along with the folk and popular music of the Alpine region. A girl (the soprano), stranded on top of an un-climbable mountain peak as a young baby, is taught to sing by the mountain animals. Young Bobli lives in the village far below the un-climbable peak. He was born mute and communicates with the world by playing the trumpet. Bobli hears the soprano's song drifting down into the valley. The soprano listens to Bobli's trumpet tunes blown up to her by the wind. They are both enchanted. The three acts are separated by interludes describing how three animals experience time passing in relation to a musical tempo. Like any self respecting melodrama the text and music combine to depict or imply a wide ranging theatrical adventure, in this piece starting at the Creation (or the big bang), a lonely existence, scenes of rustic village life, some carpentry, many mountain goats, unrequited love, and ending in a quest destined to fail. In a live performance the text [provided with the performance material] isto be projected on a screen behind the musicians in the style of silent movie intertitles. Richard Ayres.

This epic work conjures images of a ghostly pirate fleet wandering the high seas. The opening section paints an eerie picture of the forgotten crew, interspersed with brief shrieks as the phantoms burst in and out of view. The music becomes much more aggressive as listeners experience the adventures of life at sea. Ultimately, the pirates' fates are sealed, and they accept the fact that they are destined to haunt the seas for eternity. Powerful!
