Dying Roses & Fading Love (Prod. By H3 Music)

Christmas is most beautiful time of the year and this particular song is one of my favourite ever.

I wanted to have a sweet orchestral/soundtrack kind of vibe and what better way then to use the Spitfire Audio libraries and Labs instruments too.

O Holy Night (rfb.mix)

Tall Impala

Toantoal en Kilahsen (Instrumental)

save yourself

Just an improvisation with three Spitfire LABS Instruments, RAUM reverb and a calm mind. 
Didn't do that much mixing or any of that technical jazz, just the essentials if you will, so it could definitely be better but I don't care.
It was just an impro, and I didn't plan on releasing it, but then I wanted to and made a cover and I loved the combination of music, visual presentation and intention - so there ya go :P
I hope you like this little dream, and I hope to release more of those more simplistic ideas, cause there are lots and them going to waste would be a shame :/
Have a great day or night, 
Cedric over and out.

Merry Christmas anyway

LYRICS:

Homemade gifts are meant to be more fun
That’s my line, I’m sticking to it
Candlelight will hide the dying tree
Christmas time is overrated
Can’t face another trip to town
All these festive markets full of cunts
And you say ‘Fuck this, merry Christmas anyway’
Let’s go steal angels from the church
 
Christmas is a time for peace and love
As long as you have got the money
Merry Christmas, it’s a business
‘Tis the season for the thriftless
Love your family, peace be with you
Angels singing ‘We can make do’
Merry Christmas, let’s be listless
Holy spirits, drink ‘em quickly
Love your family, peace be with you
Merry Christmas anyway..

Xmas etc. (2021 remaster)

PROGRAM NOTE (LONG VERSION)
Eternal Reflections consists of settings of the poems A Song on the End of the World by Czeslaw Milosz, Life’s Tragedy by Paul Laurence Dunbar and Do not stand at my grave and weep by Mary E. Frye.

Milosz is a Nobel Prize-winning, Lithuanian and Polish-American poet, prose writer and translator, and is widely considered one of the greatest poets of the twentieth century. After spending most of World War II in Nazi-occupied Warsaw working for underground presses, he emigrated to America and taught at the University of California at Berkeley for more than twenty years. I chose this poem partly because I knew this work would be premiered in Berkeley, where he lived for many years.

Paul Laurence Dunbar is America’s first prominent African-American poet and was a child of ex-slaves. Although he died at the relatively young age of 33, he produced a large body of work, including this poem and the lyrics for In Dahomey (1903), the first musical written and performed entirely by African-Americans to appear on Broadway. He was friends with many prominent figures of his day, including Wilbur and Orville Wright, Frederick Douglass and Booker T. Washington, and toward the end of his life he was honored with a ceremonial sword by President Theodore Roosevelt.

Mary E. Frye was a housewife and florist who became well-known because of her poem. According to an article in the London Times, “Frye had never written any poetry before 1932, when she and her husband had a young German Jewish girl, Margaret Schwarzkopf, staying with them. According to Frye, their guest had been concerned about her mother, who was ill in Germany, but she had been warned not to return home because of increasing anti-Semitic unrest. When her mother died, the heartbroken young woman told Frye that she never had the chance to ‘stand by my mother’s grave and shed a tear”.” Although many versions of this un-copyrighted poem exist, the version used in this setting is the one Frye claimed as definitive before she died.

Although the three poems are related thematically, there are a few other details that link them together. They are all by poets who lived in America, and both Dunbar and Frye were born in Dayton, Ohio. The poems by both Milosz and Frye are profoundly influenced by the tragedies of World War II, and both Milosz and Frye passed away in 2004. Finally, all three poems use musical and aural metaphors, which are particularly useful when setting poems for a choir. These movements may be performed individually or together as a three-movement work.
