Cumberland Cross - Carl Strommen

You'll really get a nice sound with this one! Carl's original work explores the rich American folk style in two sections. The first has broad, moving harmonies under a Shenandoah-like melody, and the second a lively dance reminiscent of Copland. "Cumberland Cross" is not too difficult, yet very impressive! This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud. (3:30)

Cut to the Chase - Todd Stalter

In popular jargon, the phrase "cut to the chase" means to get to the really interesting or important point, and leave out all that is unnecessary. It originated from early cinematic lore when silent films were full of romantic storylines that inevitably led to much more exciting and memorable chase sequences. In this work, the melodic fragments are tossed around the band to give the impression that everyone is being chased or chasing something. To pay homage to the phrase's past, the frantic atmosphere stops for an obligatory inclusion of a slow, romantic chord progression with a soaring melody, and then the chase resumes, building to a rousing conclusion. (2:25) This title is available in MakeMusic Cloud.

Cycle of the Werewolf - Jeremy S. Martin

A surrealistic tour-de-force for concert band, this work sizzles from the first note to the last. Inspired by the Stephen King story of the same name, the work shows the contemporary concert band at its best. Dark, foreboding, and yet triumphant, this is a can't miss selection for any concert.
