This piece is my 'Serious' music, but very tonal and easy to understand. It is for a string octet; 4 Violins, 2 Violas, and 2 Cellos. (It can also be played with strings orchestra with the double bass, playing with Cello II.)
This piece is about the story of the devil that tries to lure the man into his temptation and finally makes him fall from his grace. The man is fighting with his inner thoughts and struggling with the illusions; only to fail miserably to the devil's wicked tricks.
It is quite a straightforward melody-driving piece, mimicking the style of Tango. I think it is very fun to compose dance music with a story. The entire piece comes out as a loose Rondo, which I think fitting for the story-telling.
Thank you so much. I hope you enjoy my music. And feel free to leave some comments, so I can improve my compositional skills. See you again with my next piece.
Anyway, I have put the timestamp below here, so everyone can easily follow each section and Theme.
