Talk of the Devil
This week lain Burnside looks at musical malevolence, sorcery and diabolical doings. An early musical association with the Devil came in the form of thetritone.
This musical interval was nicknamed the diabolus in musica (devil in music) on account of its fiendish sound. The
Renaissance composer (and murderer)
Carlo Gesualdo exploited it in his madrigals, and it has continued to be used by composers wishing to evoke evil, as illustrated by the sinister "Wolf's Glen
Scene" from Weber's Der Freischutz. Plus
Dukas's The Sorcerer's Apprentice,
Dvorak's opera Kate and the Devil and Saint-Saens's Danse Macabre.
