With its bright, hopeful melody and infectious rhythms, this original piece by Scott Watson, "A Joyous Celebration," is perfect to program for any celebratory occasion, or to open or close your concert. Optimistic harmonies and recurring syncopations in the opening section give way to broad, expansive strokes in a brief, contrasting section. A fortissimo climax leads to the welcome return of the jubilant opening theme. The joyful music drives to a sparkling finish, conveying the feeling that anything is possible! (2:55)
