about

The epic piece "Discoverie of Witchcraft" is cast in seven movements. Basically it follows a symphony form of four movements, the first being a sonata-allegro, the second a sonata-rondo, the third a scherzo and the last another sonata form, but these four large pieces are interrupted by three small folk-song styled acoustic pieces (Hags 1,2 and 3). The four larger pieces all use tone-rows as the basis for their composition and while exuding a hard-rock aggression and flaunting a plethora of odd-metered riffage, are at their core, atonal 12-tone compositions. The smaller Hags pieces are strictly diatonic and strongly rooted in a key. These disparate timbres contrast each other strongly and cause a strong motion of tension and release.


The words are based on Robert Scott's book, "The Discoverie of Witchcraft" and Ben Jonson's play "Masque of Queens". The whole idea of the piece was inspired by Robertson Davis's book, Mixture of Frailties.

lyrics

Part 1: Convent
From Ben Jonson's (1572-1637) The Masque Of Queens

Dame dame, the watch is set.
Quickly now we all are met.
From the lakes and from the fens,
from the rocks and from the dens,
from the woods and from the caves,
from the church-yards and the graves,
from the dungeon, from the tree,
that they died on, here are we.
