Dante: The Musical

[arisbe]

Mgr Frisina said that he would use heavy metal rhythms, punk rock and jazz to recount Hell, Gregorian mystical music for Purgatory and a triumphant explosion of lyrical and symphonic music, modern as well as classical, to usher in Paradise.

Is this some sort of Italian thing? When we go to heaven we leave plainchant behind and graduate to... Verdi?

No, no, no, no...

Although I've got to agree that Verdi belongs in heaven, and jazz should be there as well, everyone knows that hell is the domain of bad country music.

Hell, No!

Hell is the domain of "house music." Verdi will be in heaven with Vivaldi, Bach AND Gregorian chant and there will be MULTIPLE concerts all during the "week"!
