Chautauqua - Robert W. Smith

Inspired by the westernmost county in the state of New York, this dynamic original composition has three primary sections entitled: "Sunrise on Chautauqua," "A New Dawn," and "Through the Nickelodeon." The listener is captivated by the beautiful melodies and flowing dynamic swells in the beginning section and once established, attention is divided between contemporary musical sounds and yesteryear's musical style. Vivid sounds are exemplified in this extraordinary composition. (6:40)

Chelsea Suite - Ronald Thielman

A solid, no-frills band work in three short movements, this work comes together quickly in rehearsal and is equally successful at high school, university, and community group levels. Allowing for a few solo exposures, its strength is in solid, approachable ensemble writing.

Cherished - Robert Sheldon

is a beautiful musical message of gratitude that alternates between moments of vulnerability and powerful passages reflecting comfort and trust. Robert Sheldon's soaring phrases combine with ever-changing chordal progressions, resulting in steady waves of color and harmonic changes that sound complex yet are quite playable. Stunning and transformational. (5:00)

Chewy Chocolate! - David M. Martin

With a subtitle like "Whatsa That on Your Lip?," you've got to expect some humor. David Martin does not disappoint in this tongue-in-cheek work for young band. The bass line is repetitive yet clever, the melody cute but not cloying, and you'll find yourself absent-mindedly wiping your chin with a tissue!

Cheyenne - Michael Story

Cheyenne, Wyoming was a very important city in the move westward during the 19th century.It was built at the crossing of the Union Pacific railroad and Crow Creek.Today, Cheyenne remains a vibrant community with the ongoing spirit of the old west. An original work reminiscent of western movie themes, it is set in a traditional ABA overture form. Broad and bold with the spirit of the west. (3:00)

The tuneful melody is quite memorable and lends itself perfectly to young bands. A beautiful lyrical section builds to a powerful climax before the piece moves into an exciting key change and grandiose ending. Superb writing!
