![]() This motto has a further Satanic connotation, since it outlines two tritones - mathematically the most dissonant interval in ancient musical theory, often given the soubriquet Diabolus in Musica. For the rest, a more practical beast was my inspiration - the primitive image of a creature tottering on goat's legs implies a lot of disjointed bodily rhythms, as you can hear in each of the developing variations that make up the piece. One of my favourites is simply The Beast and this little trombone piece is based on the five notes B (Bb) - E - A - Si (Eb) - Ti (B natural). The Devil suffers no shortage of names: Satan, Lord of the Flies, Old Nick, Old Harry and - of course - Lucifer. ![]() A brief psychotic episode for solo trombone
