Beautiful, beautiful, magnificent desolation

"Beautiful, beautiful, magnificent desolation" was how Buzz Aldrin described the landscape of the moon.

This new work by Robert Steadman, for soprano saxophone and string orchestra, tries to put that quote into musical form.

MUSIC: Bad Girls Go To Hell
