Heroes of the Night

Concert Band Score & Parts

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!

The Meeting Place

The creative combination of interesting themes and fresh contemporary harmonies interjected with subtle meter changes produces an appealing composition for mid-level bands that is both challenging and yet accessible. The composer has adapted this "best seller" for the Build-A-Band series for bands with limited or unusual instrumentation. Glorioso is a great choice for concert or contest performance. Highly recommended!
