Fifty years before this piece was written, mankind had achieved one of its defining moments: the United States of America landed on the Moon orbiting our planet Earth. I thought it best to commemorate this momentous achievement the only way I knew how: writing a piece of music. The piece tells of our desire to reach the moon and the hardships that we went through in order to achieve a short, solemn moment enjoyed by millions all around the world.
