Commissioned by Hamamatsu Nittai Junior/High School (Akira Nakayama, director).
This, the second in the Prologue Series, opened the band's 22nd annual concert.
"Prologue One" consisted of fanfare and pops, and here the band requested a chorale and march. These styles are fundamental to the history and technique of band music, and they also present an endless challenge. Many composers have contributed accordingly.
In "Prologue Majestia," motives from the previous work are sprinkled throughout to give a sense of unity to the series while allowing each player to naturally learn basic techniques and expressiveness through performance.
As per the title "Majestia," meaning "majesty" or "solemnity," the music has a classical sound and dignity throughout, so it can be played as a concert opener as well as for ceremonies.
