2012 Band Field Show
ABOUT THE SHOW
Afterworld is based on Dante Alighieri's literary classic The Divine Comedy. The story of Dante's trilogy is very basic: one day Dante finds himself lost in a dark wood. Virgil, a character based on the revered Roman poet, appears and rescues him. Virgil guides Dante to a contemplation of Hell and Purgatory. Dante, having confessed his faults, and with Beatrice as his guide, is led into Paradise and attains a glimpse of the face of God.
There have been many musical interpretations of this magnificent work, but Gary Gilroy's new work for the field stands out as a masterful narrative of this journey through the afterlife.
