The title holds two meanings: Firstly, “opa!” is a Greek expression often cheered at weddings and Greek dances. The word also translates to “grandpa” in German, a fitting coincidence for the meaning behind the piece!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMusically, the work takes inspiration from multiple sources. The slow, call-and-response introduction is loosely inspired by the counterpoint of Bach. Soon after, the tempo picks up as the full ensemble breaks into exuberant music-making, including several zany quotes from Pachelbel’s Canon in D. This piece is a great addition to the intermediate ensemble repertoire for any festive occasion!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpa!\u003c\/strong\u003e ships as a printed, professionally bound score, and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or tablet viewing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the \u003cstrong\u003eprinted score\u003c\/strong\u003e you are receiving downloadable:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e✅\u003cstrong\u003e Individual Parts\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e✅\u003cstrong\u003e Full Recording\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"100%\" height=\"166\" src=\"https:\/\/w.soundcloud.com\/player\/?url=https%3A\/\/api.soundcloud.com\/tracks\/1232300164\u0026amp;color=%23ff5500\u0026amp;auto_play=false\u0026amp;hide_related=false\u0026amp;show_comments=true\u0026amp;show_user=true\u0026amp;show_reposts=false\u0026amp;show_teaser=true\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv style=\"font-size: 10px; color: #cccccc; line-break: anywhere; word-break: normal; overflow: hidden; white-space: nowrap; text-overflow: ellipsis; font-family: Interstate,Lucida Grande,Lucida Sans Unicode,Lucida Sans,Garuda,Verdana,Tahoma,sans-serif; font-weight: 100;\"\u003e\n\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/tapspacepublications\" title=\"Tapspace\" style=\"color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e · \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/soundcloud.com\/tapspacepublications\/opa-brian-slawson\" title=\"Opa!
