Composed by Camillo De Nardis. Arranged by Randy Steinberg. Romantic Period. Score and parts. 181 pages. Randy A. Steinberg #3002467. Published by Randy A. Steinberg (A0.870425).Considered one of the master standard works for Concert Band, this piece is a symphonic poem that evokes the religious journey of purification for those awaiting the universal judgment before receiving final blessedness. The music follows this progression with alternating sections of hardships (heavy brass parts), hope (high woodwinds frequently representing angels), and joy (also woodwinds and including lyrical brass parts), and ends with a triumphant conclusion representing final blessedness.
Camillo de Nardis (1857 – 1951) was born in Orsogna, Italy. He studied at the Conservatory of Naples, where he gained his diploma of composition in 1879. He stayed at the Conservatory to become first a popular teacher and later vice-director. His work as a composer of mostly instrumental works earned him many successes.
This piece was originally written for an orchestra composition contest where it won first prize in Turin in 1880. In 1934. The style of the work is very much in classical Italian Opera with instrumentation that is heavy on the use of brass. Sudden fluctuations in dynamics and sections of fugue are used that unify the woodwinds and the brass. In 1934, Antonio Cafarella prepared a transcription of this work for the Goldman Band and it has been performed numerously many times ever since.
