Epic (Literary Works - Part iii)

Written and Recorded in 1991

The original idea for writing this conceptual work divided in three parts came from my personal experience of a day in early November, 1990. In the initial stage of composing, the work was supposed to be divided in four parts and this Part iii was assigned to represent actual deeds that took place on that day. Despite all four parts were composed and demo recorded in the first few months of 1991, I soon recognised some failures within the conceptual work as a whole.
When I gave another try for re-organising the entire work three years later, I decided to change the theme of the concept and to make it divided in three parts. Though the second attempt of the entire work didn't go well, the new concept coined at that stage contributed for making a series of videos to showcase the work titled Literary Works.

Under the new concept, the 'actual deeds took place on that day' has been converted to legendary acts and deeds attributed to ancient heroes and heroines, which should be depicted in the style of epic. Musically, I have to admit this piece heavily owes to inspirations absorbed from Thick as a Brick by Jethro Tull and Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield. In addition, the quality of first few minutes of this audio track is lower than the rest, due to damages caused to the original master tape.
