In 2014 it was exactly 100 years after the Great War began, which reminded me of a popular song in those days: ‘It's a long way to Tipperary’ by Jack Judge. This was sung by Irish soldiers but was
soon copied by British, Russian and French soldiers. Although Tipperary is a small town in Ireland, where not even Jack Judge had ever been, the song expressed the desperate longing of homesick
soldiers. Even in WW2, this was a popular tune in the military, I myself remember my dad who was a soldier then singing it.
However, apart from a small quote in measure 126 the original tune is not present in this concerto.
The piece has one movement and opens with an adagio that seems to be standing still in time.
Eventually, this adagio leads into a first apotheosis, followed by a ‘liquid blues’, opening the way to a kind of scherzo with a fast final section, followed by a coda, a reminiscence of the initial adagio.
