+TreeckoPlayzHD yeah, I'm a freshmen first clarinet player and so far I've been fine getting the tricky rhythms. Then my band said they wanted two hard pieces to play. I didn't see this one coming. 16th notes at speed 180. I'm going to die soon.
_4:12_ *_Teacher:_*_ Okay, for this part, we need someone to wail in agony. Any volunteers?_ *_Half the freakin' class:_*_ Amy._ *_Me:_*_ Why is this the legacy I leave?_
Basically me last year. I played this last year and I was terrified and said I couldn’t do it but now it’s one of my favorite pieces that we played. I wish we could still play it this year but no 😭. I will never forget this piece
The process of listening to this piece: Wow, beautiful solo to start with YEAH LOUD WOOHOO Hey wait this sounds like The Tempest... and Into the Storm... WHOA WAIT WHAT Sailing through hell in a good way Double tonguing AF Badass timpani solo for once 1 & Stomp & 3 & Stomp & (feat. whips and chains) Hey the oboe's back! Whoa there's a picc and they're playing together BOO MUCH SCURY Followed by "tortured moaning"? The trumpet soloist is here Sexy baseline IT'S BACK AGAIN OW MY FINGERS roLLING LOUD AGAIN WOOHOO nOiSE rolling... mysteriously... into the distance...
this is one of the most fun songs I ever got to perform. and as a percussionist i have played mostly..... rests. especially during concert season. love how this song didnt forget the percussion section, and really gets every member of the band to play their heart out. when we played we had a much heavier chain, and one of the trumpets would scream his head off at the whip cracks. even thought the song is about hell, hearing some of our final performances of it made me smile uncontrollably. it was like being in a movie soundtrack. so much fun.
The "chains" section sounds exactly like Rite of Spring, First Part: Adoration of the Earth: Spring Rounds. Maybe Smith simply quoted it for its sombre atmosphere.
I once met RWS and asked him about it, he said the Rite of Spring is one of his favorite works of all time and that he wanted to pay homage to Stravinsky.
and I thought a Chicago band chose something hard when they marched to Liminal by John Mackey for their fourth movement. Damn the first trumpet part for that is hard...
I always held this piece near and dear... I was a trumpet player in high school (c/o '99) and accomplished 1st chair to have the honor and privilege of playing this song, let alone that trumpet solo
About a year ago, I saw many comments on how similar this was to Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. At the time I had not heard of it. However, I am currently doing a project on the Rite and now I realize how similar sounding they are. The similarities between the oboe solo and bassoon solo, as well as the two slow sections. However, this piece is not bitonal, while the Rite is.
Got to play this for winter percussion (#4 bass drum) back in 1999, my freshman year of high school and has been my favorite since. We were all dressed up as dead people it was so AWESOME!
I composed a song for my band (yippee) but sadly my band director said it was too hard for our band. Meanwhile we are playing this song. I am triggered.
Were playing inferno, purgeatoreo, assention, and paridiso for concert and we've only had 4 weeks to get the music rehearse it and play it by next week. 😀
Playing the 3rd/bass trombone part was so much fun. At 0:29 I'll never forget when my director said "Play it as loud as you can while still being clean". That pedal F is a real killer note played that loud.
We're playing this in community band (Robert W. Smith was my band director's band director when he was in college 😂 my band director directs my high school band and community band) and I thought wow this is fast since I'm playing the flute and the one piccolo part at the chains, but this song is so intense and it really hit me hard so i was like "yeah, I give up easily on hard songs, but this song is different. I really want to learn this one" Rip my fingers. Wish me luck when our concert comes
So our marching show this year “took inspiration from this song”... AND NOW I’VE JUST LEARNED THAT EVERY PART OF OUR FIRST MOVEMENT IS RIPPED STRAIGHT FROM THIS! (DMHS 2018-19 marching show, “Pandora’s Box” to anyone interested)
Oboe solo in the beginning is the part where the movie production logos come in (Warner Bros, etc), title of movie comes on, and it just gets adventurous from there when the whole orchestra comes in. After the song ends, black out instantly with the credit "Directed by Steven Spielberg".
Played first trombone this year when we played the divine comedy as our marching show. My legs learned to move a whole new fast this year, especially in this and purgatorio
I got to play that trumpet solo and it was so much fun to just rip that high a at the end. It's so cool when it's pin drop silent for a sec after I just ripped that high note and let it soar.
I played a concert yesterday conducted by Robert Smith. We didn't play this, but we did play a few others by him. Songs of Sailor and Seas is a grade 6+. Talk about a hard song, lol.
I just got this yesterday. I play tenor sax. I have one month, more like three weeks, to learn all the sixteenth note runs on the last page of the song. Challenge accepted.
We did Divine Comedy for my marching band theme in my junior year. I was the drum major and though we didn't place very well it was it was my favorite of the four years in high school. I don't think the marchers on the field enjoyed it as much as I did because I got to hear the whole package and they would only hear other players around them. They sounded and looked amazing. It was the largest number of marchers our school has ever had. That was in 2002 and it hasn't been that size ever since. 75 and the sections were balanced perfectly. ....kinda rambled on there...oh well.
my marching band played an arranged version of this piece as our third movement, playing the woodwind parts is remarkably easier when it’s on the marimba haha

RIP every woodwind
More like rip clarinets specifically
+TreeckoPlayzHD yeah, I'm a freshmen first clarinet player and so far I've been fine getting the tricky rhythms. Then my band said they wanted two hard pieces to play. I didn't see this one coming. 16th notes at speed 180. I'm going to die soon.
Haha we just performed it yesterday.
literally RIP when you played the Paradiso right after the Inferno
What do you mean? Shouldn't it be "RIP the timpanist who has to play the five drum part on four drums"?
First clarinet😑
I think Dante would dig it.
_4:12_
*_Teacher:_*_ Okay, for this part, we need someone to wail in agony. Any volunteers?_
*_Half the freakin' class:_*_ Amy._
*_Me:_*_ Why is this the legacy I leave?_
legit half the band would moan stupidly unless it was a recording run or the concert. XD
I believe this song has the most eargasmic introduction of all times. It'd make Dante cry.
And that's how I'm going to serenade my future husband.
(Btdubs I play oboe)
I play mainly timpani for whatever that’s worth
I got to play the chain part, so I dressed up as Satan and walked around the concert hall for that part when my ensemble played this.
zAkOraY please tell me you have a picture or video of this 😂
evas em morf lleh I want to see
This is, hands down, the most fun timpani piece I've ever played. Also, the only timpani solo I've ever played.
+Ed Penwell When I was in High School I played it. It was a lot of fun!
+Ed Penwell We played it this year in Wind Ensemble and you are definitely right!
+Ed Penwell To Tame The Perilous Skies by David Holsinger is pretty awesome too. Have to admit, this is a pretty memorable solo to play.
+Ed Penwell The tuba part is way up there, too. Almost as fun as Holst.
+ExaltedDuck I agree to that too. I played the tuba part. and it was too cool.
I played tenor sax for this piece. When I looked at this piece for the first time i was terrified. And the timpani was going nuts behind me.
KraX PJI feel your pain man. I'm jumping into this as a freshman.💀 Its a beautiful piece regardless
Basically me last year. I played this last year and I was terrified and said I couldn’t do it but now it’s one of my favorite pieces that we played. I wish we could still play it this year but no 😭. I will never forget this piece
I’m starting Marching band this year and we were using this piece as a warm up and holy shit the amount of percussion we have literally deafen you
The process of listening to this piece:
Wow, beautiful solo to start with
YEAH LOUD WOOHOO
Hey wait this sounds like The Tempest... and Into the Storm...
WHOA WAIT WHAT
Sailing through hell in a good way
Double tonguing AF
Badass timpani solo for once
1 & Stomp & 3 & Stomp & (feat. whips and chains)
Hey the oboe's back!
Whoa there's a picc and they're playing together
BOO MUCH SCURY
Followed by "tortured moaning"?
The trumpet soloist is here
Sexy baseline
IT'S BACK AGAIN OW MY FINGERS
roLLING
LOUD AGAIN WOOHOO
nOiSE
rolling... mysteriously... into the distance...
Han Tran EXACTLY MY THOUGHTS
This is way too accurate.
Han Tran i love this
Imma need you to describe all of the things for me forever mkay? #IFeltThisInMySoul
Add rite of spring because that slow middle section
Euphonium takes the cake alongside the French Horns! Well, now I just need to learn how to flutter tongue.
Luis Rosario what’s flutter tonguing
#DJYOLO Basically, rolling your R’s while you play. If you can’t physically roll your R’s, you physically can’t flutter tongue
Um, can you please simplify that? I'm already lost
#DJYOLO it’s like a form of growling, but more from the front of your mouth.
I have the “wailing in agony” part and tbh I think I’m gonna learn how to do the lego yoda death sound for it
3rd trombone gets an incredible pedal F right at the beginning. My old director said "Play it as loud as you can with it still being clean". Legendary
Played this freshman year of high school on piccolo. The oboe duet was nerve wracking to say the least
When you've been playing piccolo for two weeks and the teacher hands you this piece.
Birdiegirliebird I'm the piccolo in my band and I'm freaking worried
Rishika B. Same
this is one of the most fun songs I ever got to perform. and as a percussionist i have played mostly..... rests. especially during concert season. love how this song didnt forget the percussion section, and really gets every member of the band to play their heart out. when we played we had a much heavier chain, and one of the trumpets would scream his head off at the whip cracks. even thought the song is about hell, hearing some of our final performances of it made me smile uncontrollably. it was like being in a movie soundtrack. so much fun.
The "chains" section sounds exactly like Rite of Spring, First Part: Adoration of the Earth: Spring Rounds. Maybe Smith simply quoted it for its sombre atmosphere.
I thought the same, but the result isn't so good as in stravinski's work... he just took it and put inside...
Yes, especially the bass clarinet part (I sit next to them) the syncopation thing is so alike as if Robert smith copied form Stravinsky
I once met RWS and asked him about it, he said the Rite of Spring is one of his favorite works of all time and that he wanted to pay homage to Stravinsky.
WTF this is what you get to play in highschools in USA? WTFFF IM SHOOK NO WONDER U PRODUCE SO MUCH TALENT TO THE WORLD
_Trust me, we were dying the whole time._
Played this in middle school
@@TrackForField weird flex but ok
Annalesia Machado well the main comment said high school and I pointed out it’s a pretty simple song and that my school played it in middle school.
Natearl13 the whole thing is our opener this year lol.
Just played this at my football game today.. such a fun piece to do in Marching Band. The second movement is my favorite!
and I thought a Chicago band chose something hard when they marched to Liminal by John Mackey for their fourth movement. Damn the first trumpet part for that is hard...
God I have to learn this whole song AND Second Suite in F in a matter of 2 weeks
+Shlok Maharjan pretty good. I did good at the first 16th notes but second ones were a little sloppy.
Old comment, but what instrument?
Bruh I’m doing this, ascension from the same piece, the March from 1941, and sunrise at angels gate in 2 days
Bruhhh I gotta do this, second suite in f, and the gladiator by Sousa
Just found out we're playing this for our spring concert, I'm so excited 😄 As a flute/piccolo, this piece sounds epiccc
I always held this piece near and dear... I was a trumpet player in high school (c/o '99) and accomplished 1st chair to have the honor and privilege of playing this song, let alone that trumpet solo
I love the story being told especially when the trumpet solo is played absolutely riveting.
I got to meet him at band camp on of the highlights of my musical career such a incredible mind
My god, I feel jealous right now, that's amazing!
Wicks Compositions he’s coming to work with us at WIBC this year. I hope we play this.
Dixie?
What?????
I want, a heavy metal cover of this, badly
just played this for rating at my school it was fun love all all the percussion parts and we got straight 1's and that's really good
One of the best Timpani parts that I've ever had. Just yes.
About a year ago, I saw many comments on how similar this was to Igor Stravinsky's Rite of Spring. At the time I had not heard of it. However, I am currently doing a project on the Rite and now I realize how similar sounding they are. The similarities between the oboe solo and bassoon solo, as well as the two slow sections. However, this piece is not bitonal, while the Rite is.
certain pieces like this one make this magic and leave both the band and the audience amazed and stupified
My fingers hurt just _listening_ to this
mournfully wailing
I love RWS's work so much 😭
i enjoyed playing this piece, played it last year
piccolo/flute :D
Any tips?
Yes please! Any tips cuz I’m playing the same instruments as you🙏🏼
Got to play this for winter percussion (#4 bass drum) back in 1999, my freshman year of high school and has been my favorite since. We were all dressed up as dead people it was so AWESOME!
I composed a song for my band (yippee) but sadly my band director said it was too hard for our band. Meanwhile we are playing this song. I am triggered.
ugh this song gives me chills everytime im always so excited to play it
This is the first grade 5 song my school has ever played. And just in time for my freshman year lol! DX
I played this in my freshman year of high school and I loved it even if I could barely play it. So fun.
Were playing inferno, purgeatoreo, assention, and paridiso for concert and we've only had 4 weeks to get the music rehearse it and play it by next week. 😀
OBOE!!
My favorite part is when the brass comes in at the begining, even though i play clarinet. :)
go BMMS!
+Daniel Yi YAS!!! #BMMS will always be life
+joshua seo lol didnt expect to find u here :)
+Daniel Yi Bmms for lyfe
+Samreet Juneja Hi Sam!
+Samreet Juneja I'm the only one left from last year :D Watch our concert on livestream.com!
We played this in marching band, still get goosebumps whenever I hear this song. Absolutely loved playing this.
Sooo glad I found this. By far one of my favorite pieces my senior year and soooo tough on the fingers #clarinetkilling
Myself being a horn player can say that the divine comedy is the best
Playing the 3rd/bass trombone part was so much fun. At 0:29 I'll never forget when my director said "Play it as loud as you can while still being clean". That pedal F is a real killer note played that loud.

I really want to learn this one" Rip my fingers. Wish me luck when our concert comes
This was my marching band show last year. It was awesome!
How in the actual hell did the clarinets remember their parts? The song for them is a lot of 16th notes.
+TreeckoPlayzHD ik I play the sax and Im horrible at memorizing stuff. Im scared
timpani part, I play it for my school its amazing
So our marching show this year “took inspiration from this song”... AND NOW I’VE JUST LEARNED THAT EVERY PART OF OUR FIRST MOVEMENT IS RIPPED STRAIGHT FROM THIS! (DMHS 2018-19 marching show, “Pandora’s Box” to anyone interested)
Played Bassoon on this piece, when I'm originally a clarinet player. Such a fun piece to play. I loved it!
As a French Horn player, I approve of this song. Lol loved performing it last year. xD
Oboe solo in the beginning is the part where the movie production logos come in (Warner Bros, etc), title of movie comes on, and it just gets adventurous from there when the whole orchestra comes in. After the song ends, black out instantly with the credit "Directed by Steven Spielberg".
Who wants to bet this is the piece he’ll play with WIBC this year.
Sad we didn’t play it but it was still amazing working with Robert W Smith
God damn the marimba part is intense
Low Brass had me 😭
My favorite piece EVER to play in band - percussion section xylophone marimba cymbals chimes 🤗🤗awesome memories!!
Played first trombone this year when we played the divine comedy as our marching show. My legs learned to move a whole new fast this year, especially in this and purgatorio
We're playing this for marching band and it is EPIC
I'm playing this for an honor band tomorrow with Robert W Smith as our clinician and I'm so hype for it
I love the 2nd Trombone part for this. So fun!
I like this s. My school is going to play this song for the spring concert so I wanted to work ahead of time and hear the professionals play it.
This sounds crazy I'm in high school and this is the piece my teacher chose and im a french horn player and I think this is gonna be work lmao XD
I sure hope I get to play this at some point.
I got to play that trumpet solo and it was so much fun to just rip that high a at the end. It's so cool when it's pin drop silent for a sec after I just ripped that high note and let it soar.
Two words. Truly Tubatastic! TUUUBBBBAAA!!!!!!
Were playing the entire divine comedy this year and my teacher is also contemplating putting it on the field
We’re using this in our marching show
Colts 2019!
Yay we got some dci peeps in here
Appreciate your sharing video😊
tenor sax, started working on this today, we’re playing this and paradiso in may :)
our band too, we're gonna try to do both
I played a concert yesterday conducted by Robert Smith. We didn't play this, but we did play a few others by him. Songs of Sailor and Seas is a grade 6+. Talk about a hard song, lol.
It seems the oboist got hit by a train at 1:00
Doing this for marching band! It a cool show!!!!
May he R.I.P.
It's oboe.
dear lord. please bless my fingers because this song is about to break them. amen. (flute..)
I just got this yesterday. I play tenor sax. I have one month, more like three weeks, to learn all the sixteenth note runs on the last page of the song. Challenge accepted.
MY SCHOOL BAND IS DOING DANTES INFERNO THEME AND THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF IT 😍
I'm playing the trumpet solo for an upcoming competition and I'm so nervous omfg
For marching band this was our first movement of our competition show
Playing this as a first violin. The sixteenth notes are insane. Don't know how I'm going to learn it.
This is for wind ensemble????
3:04 the best part
i’m the only horn in my band and all i can say is why
we were supposed to play this in kelowna last month before corona hit😭
I noticed that as well.
good and cool and cool and good
We did Divine Comedy for my marching band theme in my junior year. I was the drum major and though we didn't place very well it was it was my favorite of the four years in high school.

YES 0:30
We’re playing this as a middle school band and what can I say but we’re skrewed
I uhhh... i wish i took the timpani part.
Oh don’t mind me, just an oboe wandering in the comments
Is it good if we are playing this in Middle School?
no ur trash
GDIAH
Um, yes! You're doing pieces above Shaker Variants, which are always harder and literally so much less boring to listen to!
WARNING : Dont use Headphones if you dont your ears to suffer .
TUBAAAAAAA
beginning of my halftime show
I love you
Piano!
wildest marimba part ever lmao
my marching band played an arranged version of this piece as our third movement, playing the woodwind parts is remarkably easier when it’s on the marimba haha
my highschool timeline is undertow-> vesuvius-> inferno-> looking forward to what comes next lmao
I'm terrified of this piece
Poor woodwinds. They play so fast yet they can't be heard over the low brass. They're working their asses off and you can just barely hear them
Who is ready to play some RUNS WITH INSIDE MALLETS on marimbaaaaa. I’m gonna cry
Let me tell you: nothing produces as much raw testosterone as playing this timpani part
