Daybreak

Daybreak by Doxter S is a madrigal style polyphonic composition with 3 vocalists accompanied by piano, cello, violin, and music box.

This song started out as an instrumental Rondo of 8-bars. The complex melodies seemed to lend themselves as the basis for a holiday song.

I started with lyrics simply describing the familiar auditory sensation of an Ear Worm. Perhaps it’s just music playing in your head that you heard at the shopping mall. In my case the music was new and original, with yet to be defined lyrics. As I developed this theme I focused on Christmas time and holiday music.

The reference to the season being winter and the presence of music playing everywhere are subtle links to Christmas time. The lyrics “Bright music Good tidings come with the Sun rising” and “Sweet voices are singing angelic with feeling” are additional ties to the traditional holiday music. Otherwise this song is without any anchors to limit it to one genre.

The entire song is constructed with the familiar rondo build up of layers incorporating the instrumentals and vocals to reach a crescendo just before the outro.
