The Demon Saga trilogy is a fantasy/scifi of mine that involves several fictional human groups and some demons. You can get the books on LeanPub at https://leanpub.com/b/demonsagatrilogy.
As a writing device, I tried to make the people realistic by imagining various elements of their cultures such as ethnicity, appearance, clothing, religion, philosophy, poetry, music, cuisine, history, languages, and wise old sayings. That's all explained in the end notes in Book III.
The Suite is an orchestral setting of music that represents the various cultures in the trilogy, and some of the main characters. Having music for them helped me to shape them and incorporate them seamlessly into the fictional world.
You can think of the music as selections that might be included in a film score, if anyone made a movie out of the story. The sections include:
Demon Theme
Village Dance (Hill Folk)
Battle Song (Tuk)
Tanu's Theme
Convocation of the Circle of Elders (Djonda)
Wedding Dance (Sea Folk)
Gant's Theme
Anton's Theme
Love Theme of Sonia and Galen
The Battle Before the Portal
My True Love Waits with Patience Long (Hill Folk)
Maleka (Djonda)
The Dissolution of Sira
The March North
Final Confrontation
Some of the music reflects the language and/or culture of the people it represents. The Hill Folk are modeled loosely on Celts, and their festive music has a Celtic feel. They also have melancholy songs, like "My True Love Waits with Patience Long." That one is a musical setting of a poem written in the Hill Folk language, which is loosely based on Celtic languages.
The Tuk are modeled partly on the Mongols of the time of Genghis Khan, toward the end of the 13th century, and partly on the Samurai as I picture them in the Azuchi-Momoyama period, 1573-1603). Accordingly their battle music resembles Mongolian music.
The meaning of words in the Djonda language depends not only on the syllables spoken, but also on the rhythm and tone of speech. The "Convocation of the Circle of Elders" takes this into account.
The Sea Folk are based on coastal fishermen of the Mediterranean, and their mixed-meter dance music resembles Cyprian music.
