ARMAB The Divine Comedy - The Ascension (Robert W. Smith)

[@Ibanez3789]

I had the privilege of playing the trumpet solos on this piece last year. This is definitely one of my favorite pieces that I've ever performed. And it was just plain cool to be antiphonal :)

[@gailfern]

I played this song my sophomore year of high school. I loved playing the trumpet part in this song. I remember playing the lower part of the duet. I just loved the hopefulness this section had after playing Inferno and Purgatory.

[@TheMarkNessMonster]

That low brass rhythm at 2:25-ish will FOREVER be ingrained into my heart and mind. So much was it worked on and so special was it to me when it was performed out there on the field for all to see. One of the most significant points in my adolescence were these four pieces. I've had tears in my eyes the whole time. On to Paradiso! The Company Front awaits!

[@sisko923]

I played this in 1994 at USF's Festival of Winds under Anthony Maiello, the man who commissioned the piece. He was the most amazing conductor I ever played under.

[@Justinlarue94]

Great job! This is my favorite band composition by Smith.

[@danielobrien7738]

[@DrowningInTea]

[@musimaest]

Excelente nível! Parabéns aos músicos e ao maestro Paulo Martins!

[@AlwaysBackToDrew]

This piece is great and performed with such intensity! I love it! GO FRENCH HORNS! :D but I must say that the trumpet solo was really, really well done here!

[@TheDailyNacho]

when I got the bari sax part for this song, I about crapped myself! XD I'm used to having the "oompah-oompah" part lol. We've got about another month till we perform. Hope it turns out well...

[@Rob_Leet]

[@pshhitsvalencia]

that tambourine player is beast :]

[@barbiemalik]

what other instruments are playing at 3:40 besides clarinets ? something sounds like it’s playing the same part as 2nd clarinet but I’m not sure which horn it is :(

[@grimflower6968]

Malik Jackson that’d be a flute as well and oboe i’m pretty sure... it’s a bit late but i hope it helps

[@16icecream]

i have just revieved this song for our senior band an i have to play the french horn for this piece dose anyone have any pointers for me?

[@CollinCostello23]

[@pwatt45]

[@soemad5]

broadway, is yur director mrs.wiebner?

[@CharlieBladeRemus]

You guys didn't do "Paradiso?"

[@grimflower6968]

y’all that horn part is actually so difficult lemme tell ya

[@posionedwill1103]

hmmmm i dont recall hearing any bowed vibes in this? there is supposed to be unless i missed hearing it

[@LackOfAWittyName]

That'd be a long march xDD

[@TOkenftw2010]

@MrBandgeek210 wtf this is a marching show? o_O

[@igotloud]

The brass section did very well, minus a few higher note jumps. The woodwinds were not as great. If you can't nail those runs it just sounds like a big mess. Plus the camera keeps jumping around and a nauseating speed! Great piece though!

[@ItsSeech]

XD, that's hilarious.

[@joshtyree]

Here is our band (West Forsyth High School - Wind Ensemble) playing this great tune kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJ6ogK2pZaareKM
