Description:
Disguised demons; forgiving angels; tortured human souls. String Quartet No.2: Demons and Angels tells the story of a man who thought his actions were guided by the forces of good; only to discover that he has lost his mind and wreaked havoc on earth. The first two movements explore the man's personality: I. Demonic Spirits addresses what he has become; while II. Song of the Angelsremembers the goodness in him before he became transformed. III. Inner Demons depicts the man as he loses his mind. The piece concludes with IV. Broken Spirit; as the man faces a life in prison; in which his fleeting thoughts alternate between chaos and the hope of finding redemption by the grace of an angel. This piece was commissioned by Peter Austin and Music in the Loft. -S.G.
