I need some evil music for my lesson

[twinsetandpearls]

Its me lesson planning again, am starting a new topic on the nature of evil and have collected some images and want some music to set them to. Something quite haunting. A GCSE class so I am not scaring little children

The dies irae from Verdi's requiem always gives me the shivers but I don't suppose you'd classify that as 'evil'.

Ooh wish I could do the youtube links...

Psycho music's by Bernard Herrmann if that helps.

Bartok's music for strings (The Shining)

am not ignoring you all am listening to lots of scary music. I think haunting is the word I am loking for as they are not funny scary images

THe Shostakovich String quartet may be the one, has the right sort of feeling.

Shostakovich String Quartet #13 .....

am now thinking is their a nick cave number, my old head of department was always getting the nick cave out!

lol - was just thinking of nick cave

Whoops - didn't see it's been suggested already

Us oldies eh!

Threnody to the victims of Hiroshima by Penderecki

5th movement (Witches Sabbath - sorry StGeorge!) of Berlioz' Symphonie Fantastique

sorry can't find listening clips now as have to go out

SpawnChorus. Show off. Dh currently watching Heroes so I'm not allowed sound. It's the fourth movement of the 8th quartet I'm thinking of. apparently the three note motif is like the KGB knocking on your door.

here - first min and half eerie

My mum has just suggested Hello God by Dolly Parton

Witches Sabbath

Four note motif. I can't count, as our conductor is always telling me

on reading the thread title and op i thought immediately of the rite of spring by Stravinsky, or his firebird suite. very evil moody stuff

Mrs John Cusack your fist one is quite terrifying.

Try Schoenberg's string sextet, otherwise known as Verklaerte Nacht (Transfigured Night)

Shostakovich 8th Quartet

Wow, I never knew you could do this Mad bit is from about 5 mins 15 secs.

A song called Black Sabbath by the band, Black Sabbath

I am using the hiroshima piece
