The Inferno: Full Orchestra Conductor Score & Parts

For any non-percussionists, you have no idea how fun it is to slam the bass drum as hard as humanly possible at the quadruple forte at the end of the song

My favorite band experience was learning to play this piece, and then somehow having the entire low brass convince our band director to play it for an elementary school. Needless to say we brought 7 kids to tears from the intro

Timpani is nuts in this. Also the ending of this with the percussion fade out is actually so dope

I remember learning this in a week at band camp and maaaaan was it hard but the chains and percussion was so sick

Who here remembers playing this piece and doing the "Mournful Wail" 💀💀💀

The amount of low Bb in the oboe part is insane. So are the oboe and piccolo duet. Timpani is awesome in this too

Fun fact: My state's district 3 high school honor band learned and performed this in 2 days👍

Last time I played this was in middle school. I had braces at the time, and I played tenor trombone. I now find myself in high school, without braces, playing bass bone, with a director who absolutely hates this piece. I swear. I swear I will not die until I have played this piece again.

My high school marching band did this show my senior year in 2001 with only 34 horns on field. Imagine being the only tuba on that first big hit! What a way to end 6 years of marching!

As a trumpet player who has played it for 7 years since 7 years old, I can confidently say that that trumpet solo feels so good to play yet a nightmare to master😅

As the timpani player in my band for this piece, there's crazy aura especially during the final section

I played the timpani part in this, it was amazing and so stressful at the same time for an amateur player like me but what a song!

This was my favorite song to play ever in my musical career. I played the marimba, xylo, bells and chimes. It was so amazing

Playing the heavy chains made this my favorite concert band piece ever.

As an oboe, this was one of my favorite pieces of all time. But sadly when we played this I still had a beginner's oboe which doesn't include a low Bb so we couldn't keep the piece.

I played a variation on this piece as a marching band show. It was actually partially based on this piece and possibly a couple others, it was supposed to represent the Divine Comedy and the props plus uniform change mid-show was freaking awesome.

Played this with my high school concert band at Place Des Arts in Montreal in 2007! What an amazing moment and piece! Thanks for letting me relive that memory! 🥰❤️!

I played timpani for this. So much fun :>

We played the world premiere of this symphony (as a complete work--Paradiso was completed when he came to Troy in '97). The muted trumpet solo was great fun to play.

I played this in my school's band, and I played chains, whip, and gong. It was so much fun
