Composition Background

The idea for Escaping the Supernova came from my friend Jake. I didn't have any ideas for what compose next, so I asked him. He told me to write a song about a supernova, and this was the resulting song.
This song tells the story of a group of travelers voyaging among the stars. Unfortunately, they get to close to a star that has just exploded into a beautiful but deadly supernova.
The friends need to escape, and are on their way. One person on the voyage, upon seeing the beautiful explosion, stops the ship to watch. His friends catch the mistake just in time, and continue their journey home.

Composition these days hasn't been easy.  I haven't had any inspiration to write anything in such a long time, and even the pieces I said I would be working on this year haven't been as easy I thought.  I've decided though to buckle down for the rest of the summer and produce an awesome piece of music which will probably be called Awesome Overture .  So far all I've worked on is the main theme.  Here's a sneak peak....

Shadow March

Purchase Sheet Music Order #:EMCB0001 Score Alone $7.50 USD Score with Parts $57.50 USD Composition Background Even though Shadow March does not fulfill the complete requirements of a true march, it's a great piece that captures the shadows of our earth in music. As the sequel to Triumphant March, Shadow March is the musical opposite. Instead of the soaring triumphant melody, there is an evil, driving line, reminiscent of the fourth movement of The New World Symphony. "I've been working quite a few *commissions lately," said Everett C. Davis, composer, "but I just haven't had any inspiration. Both marches I've written have been ways to continue to write music, and because they've been so easy to write, I didn't have to look past the classics, and John Williams for inspiration." *Commissions of Everett C. Davis are really just composition requests, as that he does not request any money.

Two Sestina Pomes

Purchase Sheet Music Order #:EMCB0004 Score Alone $5.00 USD Score with Parts $40.00 USD Recording Information This recording of Two Sestina Poems was made by the Sam Barlow Symphonic Band of 2012, on May 17, 2012. Composition Background In French Poetry the Sestina is the most advanced form of poetry, and in music the Sonata is the most advanced form a movement can be written in. I thought it was fitting that a sonata was written about two sestina poems. The primary subject is about a sad and depressing poem called I Have Become the World , and the secondary subject is about a happy, joyous poem called The Power of Love . Both poems aren't famous, and can't be found publicly. I Have Become the World Pain is a necessity in life. It makes emotion more bearable and prolongs the bitter yet comforting end. Even more than the end itself, the world is cold. And where it is coldest there exists only death. Some think of it as a tragedy when death in realit
