Description
Set the tone for your next performance with Opening Ceremonies, a majestic and high-energy work by Michael Carl Green. Written with the grandeur of a formal event in mind, this piece serves as a powerful concert opener, featuring bright fanfare motifs and a driving rhythmic pulse that engages the entire band. Green’s orchestration utilizes the full dynamic range of the brass band, moving from crisp, articulated brass figures to sweeping ensemble moments. It is a sophisticated and modern choice for any program requiring a bold, “ceremonial” start.
