Description
This appearance of Purgatorio marks the second movement of Robert W. Smith's first symphony for band, The Divine Comedy. Following the hugely successful introduction of the other three movements, Purgatorio leads us through a contemplation of Purgatory. Seldom has the launching of a work for concert band more quickly captured the attention of the band director community. Multiple all-state, honor band, conference and convention performances have already taken place and are firmly scheduled into the future. This is a truly monumental work that lifts the wind band genre to new levels. (7:10)

Rest in peace Robert W. Smith 🙏 Purgatorio was one of my favorite pieces to perform on bass drum!

I had the absolute honor of playing all three soprano solos for my high school spring concert, and I can only hope Robert W. Smith was smiling down on us from Paradiso whilst I performed them. May he rest in peace, and gloria to this compositional genius.

The soprano sax part in this is absolutely filthy. I love it.

I honestly would start applauding when the whole band says "Gloria" in unison.

My high school band is playing this and by far this is an easy piece of music.
