---====The Titanic====---
=Fanfare, Fantasy & Fate=
--==Composed by Novus==--
-==Released on 9/16/97==-
I've always liked the
idea of a song about the
voyage of the Titanic,
but my first song about
it was met with universal
scorn. So, I decided that
a complete re-write was
in order. :)
For this version, I went
with an orchestral sound
instead of my usual
"contemplative" style
that failed miserably in
my first Titanic song. I
also decided to write
this song about the
entire voyage and not
just the tragic end to
it.
Part 1: Fanfare...
The unsinkable Titanic
begins her maiden voyage
from Great Britain to New
York City.
Part 2: ...fantasy...
A quiet evening several
nights later, on which
the moon and the ship's
lights play off of the
water and off of several
small, nearby icebergs...
Part 3: ...& fate.
The unthinkable meets the
unsinkable, as mankind
once again discovers that
we will never be perfect,
no matter how hard we
try...
(Yes, that is the Morse
code signal SOS ...---...
in Part 3.)

This is musically very rich song, with nice melodies. Actually this song has three parts, or different songs; First is when glorious ship Titanic starts its first (and last)voyage, and second, when people are traveling to find their new hopes across the ocean. Final part is ofcourse the sinking. Novus has managed to describe these situations very well, and you can almost imagine yourself in the ship. This is very creative piece of work. Many artist's wouldn't have this much ideas for three great songs The samples are all 8-bit, but their still quite good. Novus has done a great job with this song,string arrangements are great and the melodies change almost all the time, so you don't get bored.Also there is a nice idea of morse coding S.O.S in the last part of the song, and it gives the song even more unique touch. This style of music is not so heard in the tracking scene, but Novus did a fine job here.
