Mystic Bard - Bauern Walzer

Bouquet of Notes

Beautiful and evocative, "Behold The Virgin Approaching" was written for chorus and later transcribed for piano trio.  It is part of a  larger work entitled Duan Nollaig, a collection of five carols for SATB chorus and piano. 


Davidson:  Behold the Virgin Approaching

Aurora Introitus

Eternal Ascent for Reed Quintet

Eternal Ascent portrays the Greek myth of Sisyphus, who was punished by the Gods and sentenced to roll a large boulder up a hill every day, only for it to fall back down when it neared the top.

This constant and arduous task symbolizes the more frustrating side of learning to play an instrument, the stretches of time where no progress is being made or even periods of regression. The music reflects this anguish through its dark and somber tone, with moments of ascending hope anticlimactically returning to the same introductory material, starting this relentless journey over once more.

Though this myth can be a daunting one, we can all be hopeful that we have the ability to push the metaphorical boulder to the top of the mountain with enough work and persistence.


Eternal Ascent

Inspired on 360. Experimenting because I can, got it?

'I AM THE DREAM' is a piano journey that follows the self-actualization of Philip Bythrow. Throughout this album he feels the pain of heartbreak, the comfort of routine, the guilt of depression, the hope of dreams, the freedom in letting go, the reality of being tethered to this physical body, uncertainty, and declarative resolution. Please enjoy with patience and reverence.
