Five Incarnations of Hell (2002) was composed as my final project in partial fulfillment of the Bachelor's of Music degree in Musical Studies. The work explores Dante Alighieri's vision of Hell as explored in his epic poem Inferno.

In the place of a narrative piece, I opted to show abstract representations of five different levels of hell in as many different scenes which can be broken down in the following manner:

- Act I, scene i: Neutrality
- Act I, scene ii: Incontinence
- Act I, scene iii: Violence
- Act II, scene i: Simple Fraud
- Act II, scene ii: Treachery

The work was choreographed by Janet Speranza, Jenna del Monte, Kim Wager, Curtis Stedge, and Trisha DiGiacomo and conducted by Christopher Lanz.
