Festival Signation is an opening piece, suitable for the beginning of a concert, or start of a second half. It begins with a majestic fanfare with powerful chords in the brass, and light motives in the winds. (The fanfare can also be played separately!!) It is followed by an andante espressivo with a melody in the euphonium and 1st horn. After a trumpet solo, the theme is played by the whole orchestra, with support from the percussion. The piece ends with the same opening fanfare.
