I can think of one specific "dark" song that moves pretty quickly from classical music and could probably come up with some more if I thought about it. My suggestion would be "The Hut on Fowl's Legs" from "Pictures at an Exhibition" (written by Modest Mussorgsky for the piano, commonly heard today in the orchestration by Maurice Ravel).
This piece represents a painting by Victor Hartman with a design for a clock based on the hut of the mythological witch, Baba Yaga. Baba Yaga is a particularly nasty witch of Russian mythology. The hut is said to stand on chicken legs, constantly turning 'round and 'round.
Some of the interesting characteristics of the music include the common use of the tritone. The tritone is an augmented fourth, a diminished fifth, or (where it gets its name) a space of three whole steps, also commonly called "the devil's fourth". It is as a rule avoided in classical music, but used here to make a statement.
I hope that this is an option that you might consider.
Need song

Sounds interesting. I think I've heard that story before...paulrowe wrote:I can think of one specific "dark" song that moves pretty quickly from classical music and could probably come up with some more if I thought about it.

Anyway,
There are a couple evil-sounding tracks on the Oh/Ah My Goddess discs. I think track 4 on the movie soundtrack, and 31 on the OVA soundtrack disc 2. Not especially fast, but...

Ive decided to go with The Alice song. A little slower than what I was originally going for. but will make a great dramitic video. Thank you!ithaqua wrote:Dark instrumentals?
Definitely have to recommend "Teargas and Plateglass".
You can score a couple of their songs at this place.
The Alice song there might work, but it's a slowy.
