CMC 27:
Return of the Pharaoh
"The desert is unforgiving and its inhabitants are spread far and
wide. They ache for unity and a chance to reclaim their former glory.
Once, the Pharaoh held them together and reigned in power, but that was
lost long ago. There is no leader to follow. One day, as if from a mirage,
the mighty banner will appear once more on the horizon — signaling
the return... the Pharaoh's Return."

Text results and critiques
Alpan Aytekin - "Horizon
of Hope"
"The composition is not so melodic; mostly chordal. It's divided
into two sections. The desperate section and the Pharaoh section. In the
second part, I tried to visualize a horizon as much as can and also used
some chromatic flat chords turning the key into a maqam scale."
Josh Taylor - "Through
the Sands"
No description given.
Omri Lahav - "In
Search of the Pharaoh"
"These dunes are the final resting place of many beings foolish
enough to brave the ocean of burning sands. A caravan leaves the sanctuary
of the village, the proximity to water, the safety of great numbers. To
find the buried cities of old, the lost heir to the lost throne and with
him- the lost hope of the tribes. Or to waste and die, in search of the
Pharaoh."
Wade Friesen - "Pharaoh's
Return"
No description given.
HoboKa - "The
Son of Ra Returns"
"The son of Ra returns after a long campaign against the Greeks.
Although neither side won the war, he manages to hold his head high as
he his servants take him to his palace. The crowds, happy to see their
pharaoh in high spirits, celebrate his return."
Dj Mokram - "Uraeus
Kingdom"
"The basic idea was that each piece represents a time period of
the Pharaoh's legend.
-First part: The Pharaoh is the ruler of the land, marching while fearing
no soul, at the peak of his glorious reign. But it shall soon come to
an end...
-Second part: Some time has passed, the glory has shattered. The land
& people are left to their fate. But the lonely desert quietly awaits
for the sovereign's return.
-Third part: After a period of incertitude, as if from a dream, the Pharaoh
& his army emerge from the vanishing horizon, reborn to reclaim their
legacy.
Brandishing a flag marked with the legendary emblem of the Uraeus, they
march toward a future supposedly lost, to make it anew once again, at
long last."
