THE INFERNO is the first movement of Robert W. Smith's four-movement work THE DIVINE COMEDY based on Dante Alighieri's literary classic of the same name. Dante's vision of hell consists of nine concentric circles divided into four categories of sin. This first movement of the epic work uses visual imagery with huge blocks of sound and explosive winds and percussion. Colossal in scope! (7:20) (Movement four - THE ASCENSION - BD01085)

Performed by the George Mason University Wind Ensemble,
