One of two modern composers have written for this medium (violin and guitar). Duet by New Zealands David Farquhar patronized and trivialised the medium compared with the larger scale Two Night Movements by Australia's Phillip Houghton, a work especially commissioned by the Jackson Duo.

This was the most commanding and substantial piece in the entire program. Its sensitive atmospheric writing was evoked consumately by the duo, especially the violins pungent wailing in the movement entitled 'Banshee'.
