Briefly - I have received some fabulous feedback from fellow composers on Composers' Forum and would like to share this composition with you. You will need to turn up the volume, put on a decent set of 'bins' and find 15 minutes in your busy schedule to listen, if you'd be so kind, and maybe even make a comment or two that I can publish on my website. The composition is to reflect philosophically and musically on the path through life comparable to Christ's time in Hades, and to the journeys of Faust and Dante (The Inferno) and which is sometimes referred to as 'descensus ad inferos' (harrowing of hell). This journey (trek) can be, and often is indeed, a harrowing one that oftentimes leads to wisdom - I describe this in the music. The triumphant finale describes how the hero/heroine overcomes temptation and succeeds in diverting away from the Road to Perdition to the achievement of wisdom. Please ensure your shoe laces are properly tied otherwise the finale might blow off your socks!
