Coder wrote:There's a Roger Wilson, (who I don't have any info on), piece, (which I don't have any info on), for unaccompanied tuba that certainly deals with some dark stuff. No satanic references or anything, but rather a lot of 'the problem with people' kind of things. I think the piece is simply titled Thoughts for Tuba or Suite for Tuba or something of that nature. The last couple of movements, at least, are quite dark; 'The Aggressive Impulse Thwarted' and 'Bad Conscience And The Superego'.

The piece you're referring to is Richard Wilson's "Civilization and its Discontents," which any psychology student would recognize as the title of a famous book by Sigmund Freud. Hence the references to aggressive impulses and the superego. It's a pretty cool piece, too.

Thank you. That just made my day.

On the subject, there's always "Hell's Bells"

Dvorak: "Kate and the Devil", particularly the Act III "Infernal Dance"
von Suppe: "Teufelsmarsch"
Wayne Siegel: "Devil's Golf Course"
Smetana: "The Devil's Wall", particularly the Act III "Infernal Dance" (no, that's not a typo from the Dvorak!)
Gaspar Cassado: "Dance of the Green Devil"
Meyerbeer: "Robert le diable"
Stravinsky: "King Kastchei's Infernal Dance"
Villa-Lobos "Bailado infernal"
Berlin: "Get thee behind me, Satan"
Nielsen: "The Luciferan"

I think everyone else has mentioned, Boito, Berlioz, Liszt and Offenbach. Tartini's "Devil's Trill" violin sonata in G is only a devil for the violinist...

how about "Der Traum De Oengus" (the dream of oengus in english). A director told the tuba section I was playing in that we were to sound like satan killing little cats.

Has anbody mentioned the song from Guys and Dolls, "Sit Down, You're Rocking the Boat." At least, I believe that's the title. It's the most repeated line in the song.

Remember the musical "Damn Yankees". In the movie, Ray Walston played the Devil, disguise as "Mr. Applegate".

A lot depends on the hearer. I wrote a piece for classical guitar once, that I tried to make as ugly sounding as possible (not "evil," just ugly.)

One person, on hearing it, said it was quite beautiful.

"Dream of the Witches' Sabbath" from Hector Berlioz's Symphonie fantastique

Also, although it's included in most Requiem Masses, any movement called "Dies irae" (Day of wrath) usually has a Satanic sound to it. (And there is also a movement of Symphonie fantastique called "Dies irae.")
