Opening with an elegant string ensemble, this piece creates the perfect atmosphere for an awards ceremony.

Maurice Ravel, the French composer, brilliantly orchestrated Modest Mussorgsky’s piano suite—originally composed in memory of a painter friend’s memorial exhibition.

The music, which symbolizes the anticipation and emotion of a visitor strolling through a gallery, is ideal for expressing the bright, uplifting feelings of the award recipients.

Orchestrated in 1922, this work has since been performed by many conductors and cherished around the world.

It’s a popular piece frequently used in commercials and films, so many people may have heard it outside of award ceremonies as well.

With its blend of grandeur and splendor, this piece is a wonderful choice to honor the achievements of the recipients.

You might recognize it from TV.

NTT Docomo created a Maurice Ravel opera on the spot using a variety of sounds—vegetables, cooking noises, mobile phone sounds, shutter clicks, drones, bicycles, Wonder Core (ab workouts), applause, conversation, footsteps, and more.

I used to think they only offered mobile and communication services, but to ensure this level of communication quality and to provide various services, they collaborate and work with many partners.

At the end of the video, you’ll see credits for all the performers.
