Description:
This is based on Der Doppelgänger, a song written in about 1827 by Franz Schubert with words from a poem by Heinrich Heine.
Schubert was, I think, the first heavy metal artist. While composers like Mozart and Haydn wrote bright, decorative music, Schubert knew he was dying of syphilis at the age of 30 and wrote some of the most creepy and tortured music imaginable, and I believe that it is still effective today.
If you are wondering what I'm saying in the vocals, it's Still ist die Nacht. -- "the night is still." I had intended to read the entire poem by Heine, but I discovered that I don't read German very well, and after stumbling over words like Schmerzengewalt I decided to stick with a sample of only the first line. Those interested in the poem can find an English translation of it at

The sheet music for this piece is available for a nominal fee at
my page at SibeliusMusic where you can also watch the music go by as the tune plays.
Hardware:

This is an interesting treatment. It lacks forward
momentum, but there's some very neat stuff going on. I
think this belongs in Prog Rock, though. You might get
more response to it if you put it there. [ Reply to This ]

This piece really does lack forward movement. However u
got enough going on to make up for it. Song movement
was a little to slow for me tho.
