The third movement of a major new work by Robert W. Smith based on Dante Alighieri's literary classic The Divine Comedy, The Ascension is a sizzling musical experience with bravura wind parts and dazzling percussion that is charismatic in its boldness. It's indicative of a highly creative period for this young American composer.
