Description
In each of the past two years, Robert W. Smith has released a movement from his symphony The Divine Comedy. Musicians, conductors and audiences can now welcome Paradiso, the fourth and final movement from the symphony. Ethereal percussion is the palate with which solo voices paint musical landscapes of what paradise must be. Hints of themes from the other movements emerge to tie together all of the musical elements of this powerful new work. Completely captivating! (4:45) [The two movements already available are The Inferno (BD9563) and The Ascension (BD01085)].

This piece has even more of a strong meaning for the musical world. Robert passed away a few weeks ago, leaving behind this and so many other fantastic pieces. I got to conduct both "The Divine Comedy" and "Don Quixote", and those two works are my biggest projects ever accomplished in my conducting hobby. Rest easy in Paradiso, Mr. Smith. Thank you for everything.

I am playing this for my freshman year of high school (all four grades band) and the clarinet part is so beautiful but SO STINKING HARD.
