Composed by Kristofferson. Concert Band. Score and set of parts. Composed 2023. Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications #012-4992-00. Published by Opus III Wind Orchestra Publications (CL.012-4992-00). Canadian composer Kenley Kristofferson was commissioned to write The Meeting Place, a work depicting the connection between people and the warmth and security of a shared space – in this case, the band room. The music celebrates these places which can feel like home, welcome all kinds of people, make them feel like a part of something bigger than themselves, and hold special power for us to feel safe and connected. With lush harmonies and song-like melodies, this ballad gives everyone in the band a chance to shine and contribute to a shared story about, for some of them, one of their most cherished spaces. Performers and audiences alike are sure to love this piece. Moving music!
