Description: DANTE’S JOURNEY employs the Romantic idea of literature inspiring music, casting the three books of Dante’s The Divine Comedy (I. Inferno, II. Purgatorio, and III. Paradiso) into the traditional three-movement concerto. The story follows a person’s journey to the depths of hell, the climb up through purgatory, and finally to the exaltation and peace of heaven. Since all three movements describe different locations, each movement uses a different musical universe to describe these contrasting places while showing off the entire orchestra and its different sections and combinations.
