A Tragedy: Part I - Theme (1990)

Written and Recorded in 1990

A Tragedy is an instrumental composition I wrote during the summer of 1990. In those days, I was working hard at writing an essay about German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche, as a course work, and was obsessed with ideas and facts I was absorbing from various books I referred for the essay writing. Along with his philosophical thoughts, I was also interested in Nietzsche’s private life as well and when I first completed this main theme piece, I decided to write a conceptual musical work based on what inspired me through the research activity by then.

For making a series of videos to cover the entire conceptual work, I have re-examined sources of information now available on-line and make some changes to the audio track in order to present the tragedy more coherently. Though the music I wrote has nothing to do with the 19th Century German philosopher, I hope some of you may enjoy this work.
