The Barbaric Conquest

This programatic work that depicts the brutal, cruel, behavior of unacceptable individuals in ancient societies. These people were uncivilized, uncultured and in a general sense perceived as having an inferior level of civilization. The Barbarians were known social parasites that depended on settlements as a source of slaves, surpluses and portable luxuries.  It was common for them kill, pillage, loot and plunder by any means necessary showing no mercy. It is the composer’s intent that this music represents these characteristics; thus portraying dark, evil and intense music.
