Hi everybody. This page gets a very confused look from time to time;- long rambling advertisements for biological paraphernalia of every decription etc. If there is a programme to restrict letters to the subject of music I'd be glad to hear about it. In the meantime thanks to everyone who has sent messages of encouragement. Here are some replies to queries, with apologies for being slow..

Re. 'Twelfth Night', I think the CD has been discontinued so lack of availability may help explain the high price. I prefer not to have to do mail-outs myself, but as there seems to be some demand I'll look into the possibility of including some 12th Night tracks on a CD planned for 2006 release [at a reasonable price]. How would that be? Sheet music of the songs is also a possibility for 2006.

Re. 'The Winter's End' the full score exists for orchestral performance and will soon be included on the 'Concert Works' page. it may also be time to make a 'short' score version available on the Sheet Music page. Re. the enquiry about other tracks on Liam O'Flynn's album 'Out to another side', I will also include info. on the Concert Works page.

Natasha, Rita Connolly's 'Tears' is on her 'Rita Connolly' album on Tara.

The music from the RSC's 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe' was a limited run sold only in the RSC shops in England. May be difficult to supply.Will look into it.

By the way, has anyone seen the Hallmark TV film version of 'David Copperfield? [with Hugh Dancy and Sally Anne Fields]. I ask because I did one of my best scores for that film, and although it wasn't discussed at the time,it would be great to see it released on CD; can't happen unless there's demand, though. So write to me here or to Hallmark, USA.

Best wishes, Shaun Davey

The Pilgrim has reached deep into my heart and ministered to me. In particular, The Deer's Cry has become my morning prayer. I play the CD each day on my way to work. I am trying to decipher the words to God Be With Me which follows The Deer Cry. Could someone please send them to me. I am fighting cancer right now and find healing balm in these words. God bless you Shaun!

Hello to you both, Right now I'm listening to your album 'Granuaile'. I know it's a few years old now, but it is utterly fantastic. As a great fan of the Lady in question, I really appreciate that you took the time to put at least some of her life into words. I have recently written a summary of the meanings of each of the songs and where they fit into her life. Having spent years researching the life of Granuaile I would be humbled if you might read it and tell me if you think I've got it right. If would like to, then please contact me at the e-mail address with this. Thank you again "Grania"

Dear Mr.Davey, Excuse me for my bold approach, but I like to add you and your requiem to the Requiem Survey, a website of nearly 1500 composers of requiems (or fragments). This website has hundreds of visitors every day. Since you have composed a requiem as well, I made a concept on: http://www.requiemsurvey.org/composers.php?id=1487 As you can see, your page is not complete yet. So I would appreciate it very much if you answer the following questions: - What is your exact date of birth (dd/mm/1948) - Year of composition of the requiem? - Who are meant by "the men, women and children of 1798" - Is there a recording and if so, on what label? Looking forward to your response, with kind regards, Kees van der Vloed webmaster www.requiemsurvey.org Rotterdam, The Netherlands

Just bought the Waking Ned cd soundtrack. Track 13 entitled "Lux Eterna, my eternal friend" is just awesome and inspiring. Kinda brings a lump to my throat whilst listening to it! Best Wishes for the future, Danny-Boy!

I just re-discovered Waking Ned Devine, since I first watched it in theaters. Your score is as much a character in that movie as anyone on screen. I'm a filmmaker in New York, and would aspire to working with someone of your caliber someday.

Many thanks, Shaun, Rita and Liam for such wonderful music. I am no music critic, but this is the best since I discovered Beethoven. Did Beethoven have Irish ancestry?

Hi Shaun, Just watched and really enjoyed Twelfth Night. I realise how crucial your score was to our enjoyment of the film. My wife and I often like to re-create the music from things we have enjoyed. Is there any chance that the sheet music from the film could be availble from you on line or from another source ?

Dear Mr. Davey, I am currently with a group at my college who are tryin to get together to go into Kansas City and play at some sessions and such, but I was talking to our leader about the Tullymore Polka (The Witch, the fiddle, and the phonebox) from Waking Ned Devine. I was wondering if there is anyway to get a copy of the music so that we could introduce it to our group. Let me know! Thanks a bunch. Slán.

Dear Thane, re. 'Twelfth Night', let us know if you can't get a copy from Amazon, as we could, in the case of extreme emergency, let you have one from have a limited quantity currently held in the vaults of Shaun Davey Music. Best wishes,

Dear Janet Cook, re your query concerning 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe', I don't own the rights to the 'book' or lyrics [these are owned by Adrian Mitchell] , only to the music. The amateur rights are collectively administered by Samuel French Publishers in London,[www.samuelfrench.london.co.uk] and I hope they will be able to send what you need, though probably not the CD which may only be available commercially now via Amazon.com. Let me know if you have any problems. Best wishes,
Shaun Davey

Looking for Twelfth Night CD check out the albums page for a link to Amazon.co.uk for this album.

Dear Mr. Davey, I recently began searching for a copy of your wonderful music for Twelfth Night on Amazon.com. The only copy available (and it was from an outside source) was priced at $70, considerably more than a poor college student like me can afford. Half.com had no copies, Ebay.com had one, albeit located in Singapore. A search for your name at the iTunes store yields nothing. Finally, even Limewire, a file-sharing service with several million users, had nothing. I am a great fan of this album, and was wondering, sir, if there was anything you could pollibly do to make your music more available. Thank you so much for your time, --Thane Tuttle

Hi Shaun, After a colleague of mine saw James Joyce's "The Dead", he visited your website and noticed that you had written the music for RSC's production of "The Lion, Witch and the Wardrobe". After contacting RSC we were told that you carry the rights to the music and the musical. We may be interested in producing the show in 2005-2006. Is this a possibility? Can we obtain a persural script and sound track? Sincerely, Janet Cook Head of Theatre Dept. Woods Cross High School
