DANTE'S INFERNO 1: ISLE OF THE DEAD
Arranged By JOE MURPHY
Play Sample    Click for Audio Demo
Performance Time: 136
"Isle Of The Dead" is the opener to my show entitled, "Dante's Inferno". Obviously, it is based on Dante Alighieri's, "DIVINE COMEDY" completed in the year 1320. In his long, narrative poem, Dante describes his travels through Hell, Purgatory and Heaven. The opener is based on the tonalities from Rachmaninoff's "Isle Of The Dead". But, the rest of the show is completely original. … You could name the show, "Darkness Into Light", or "Angels and Demons", or however you'd like to describe your show. "Dante's Inferno" is very dark and powerful. Contrastingly, the closer (named "Jubilance and Exultation") is quite………..jubilant. :-) This show is chock-full of incredibly loud walls-of-sound, ultra-quiet moments, section features, soloists, and a vast range of colors within the ensemble. Your colorguard will love this show! SO many opportunities for them. The other movements are entitled, "Waltz of the Dead", "Alighieri's Perdition", and "Jubilance and Exultation". Thank you for taking a moment to have a listen. I hope you enjoy……Dante's Inferno!

ALSO SPRACH ZARATHUSTRA
Arranged By JOE MURPHY

Performance Time: 70
The PERFECT opener to any "Space" show! This gem by Richard Strauss still electrifies audiences 120 years after it was composed! My take on this piece adds more motion in the mellophones, woodwinds and mallets at the big hit on the IV chord. If you have a great mellophone section, they will LOVE this!! So will your audience! Enjoy - Also Sprach Zarathustra!

Performance Time: 147
This ain't your grandma's Claire de Lune!! This is written as an opener. It starts out quiet with the front ensemble. Tempo is 156bpm. It builds adding low voices, then middle voices, and increasing in melodic motion. After about 40 seconds of development.... BAM!!! Full ensemble at fortissimo to the melody of Clair, marching halftime. 78bpm. This opener has many devices that judges are looking for. Small ensemble, tutti ensemble, woodwind feature, front ensemble feature, etc... This will kick your show off on the right foot!! Or...left foot, as it were. Enjoy!
