Description

Becoming a Knight portrays the path of a young man who must prove himself before he can be entrusted with greater things. The opening follows his preparation and trial. The middle section reflects the dubbing ceremony, where he takes an oath before the king and the church. In the final section, he returns to battle changed by what he has become. Its bold pacing and cinematic shape make it a strong choice for concert programs that need story, character, and momentum.
