Music for the torture chamber?

[Online_Ratt]

I agree Dies Irae - the words themselves are terrifying! Mozart's setting is superbly dramatic, but the plainsong original is pretty scary too:

Similarly William Byrd's 'Ne irascaris Domine' ('Don't be angry, Lord'), especially the last part, a despairing cry from utter desolation:

Thomas Tallis's Lamentations of Jeremiah, and the Allegri Miserere are in the same league.

Schubert's Death & the Maiden, of course, ever since Ariel Dorfmann used that for his play (later film) - also Schubert's C Major string quintet, that Eichmann puts on to play on the gramophone at the end of the Wansee Conference when the 'Final Solution' was agreed, in the film 'Conspiracy':

And the whole of Winterreise.

'Non, je ne regrette rien' I've requested for my funeral, whenever that might be!

Thoughtful choices!

Music for the torture chamber, how about "Sympathy for the Devil" by the Rolling Stones. Although I think Loinclothslaves' suggestion of "Bolero" has merit, too.

You could always choose songs played during movie crucifixion scenes, like Always Look on the Bright Side of Life, from Monty Python's Life of Brian!!

Actually I like the idea of Always Look on The Bright Side of Life! If this is not twitting your victim, then I don't know what is.

I like the irony.

especially if the torturers are female!

Pleasure and Pain by the Divinyls…saw them live many moons ago with my best girl at the time.

Why am I reminded of this?
A tad off topic and dark but there you go…

Divinyls are one of my favorite artists, RIP Chrissie Amphlett, you are sorely missed!

“Please don’t ask me… how I’ve been getting off!”

I’m glad I had the chance to see her up close and perform.
She was a blast!

And since we've already thought about newer music, how about Hells Bells by ACDC.
It was discussed for a long time whether the name means something completely different, namely Anti Christ Devils Child.

I have got another idea: Why should the torturer provide the music? Have the victim sing one of these songs, and if she forgets the lyrics or doesn't hit a note - well there are other things on her to hit for punishment.

For extra humiliation, make her sing a really silly song. I was thinking about 'Old Mac Donald had a Farm', animal noises included of course!

What about making us slaves say the “Gregorian chants” from Monty Python’s Holy Grail but instead of thumping ourselves with a plank of wood each line, you whip us and we start the next line?

I like that, that’s a lovely idea; you could make a girl dance naked while singing a silly song as part of a humiliating display before an audience.

Taratino fans will get this one.

How has no one mentioned 'Venus in Furs' by the Velvet Underground yet?

Taratino fans will get this one.

Guitar player was Luther James Grosvenor , later replacing Mick Ralphs in Mott the Hoople. He went under the name Ariel Bender. Tree is showing his age!!!

This music from "Eyes Wide Shut" by Jocelyn Pook is the perfect haunting music for a torture chamber

More music from the movie, by Dominic Harlan. Haunting, atmospheric

while being whipped? Excellent variation on just counting the lashes!
