"Not Now, Not Ever!" is a contemporary classical composition by Australian composer Robert Davidson. The piece was composed in 2016 and premiered on October 22, 2016, at the Queensland Conservatorium of Music in Brisbane, Australia. The composition consists of three movements, each with its own distinct characteristics. The first movement, titled "Not Now," is a slow and contemplative piece that features a solo cello accompanied by a string orchestra. The cello's melody is haunting and melancholic, evoking a sense of longing and introspection. The strings provide a lush and atmospheric backdrop, creating a sense of space and depth. The second movement, titled "Not Ever," is a more upbeat and energetic piece that features a full orchestra. The movement is characterized by its driving rhythms and complex harmonies, which create a sense of urgency and momentum. The melody is passed between different sections of the orchestra, creating a sense of dialogue and interplay. The final movement, titled "Not Now, Not Ever!" is a fusion of the previous two movements. It begins with a solo cello, similar to the first movement, but gradually builds in intensity and complexity, incorporating elements of the second movement. The movement culminates in a powerful and triumphant finale, with the full orchestra coming together in a grand and majestic crescendo. Overall, "Not Now, Not Ever!" is a dynamic and engaging composition that showcases Davidson's skill as a composer. The piece combines elements of classical and contemporary music, creating a unique and innovative sound that is both accessible and challenging.
