live at the fitzgerald
commissioned by the george mason university band, "the ascension" represents dante's ascension into heaven. the piece follows typical overture form, starting out with dante looking up to the stars atop mount purgatory. a swift horn motif starts dante's ascension, moving faster than thought. technically difficult woodwind runs add to the speed of dante's ascension, as well as loud, dissonant trombone glissandos. the middle of the piece slows down, where the band sings accompanied by bowed vibraphone and pitched wine glasses. the opening theme of the movement is repeated in the woodwinds, while the remainder of the band sings "alleluia." after a short horn solo, the music of the gods and of heaven builds to a climax with a trumpet solo, which is then expanded on by the rest of the band. the piece then speeds up again with the same horn motif, finishing with a climactic and dramatic crescendo to the final note, as dante finally arrives in heaven. the movement begins in e-flat major, modulates to c minor, then modulates to b-flat major at the trumpet solo. when the horn motif returns, the piece once again modulates to c minor, where it stays for the rest of the piece. this movement prominently features horn, trumpet, and piano.
