Cheeseburger Cha-Cha-Cha

Cheeseburger Cha-Cha-Cha is a fun and moderately easy piece for a young band that can help students become confident performing eighth-note syncopations. Easy ranges make the music accessible, and cues are provided in bass lines for optional rests from playing. Lively bongos, maracas, and cowbell make this musical selection a cha-cha-cha good time!

Cherry Tree

This beautiful ballad was composed to capture the wondrous feeling of cherry blossoms. It also relays elation or hope for a brightening future. The lyrical piece helps players learn the importance of inner melodies, a lighter playing style, staccato figures, and balancing of long phrases. A contrasting middle section includes tempo variations and a delicate balance of harmonic patterns. A return to the calm opening theme ends the composition on a hopeful note. This lovely work will challenge, but also reward your performers.

Chicago (That Toddlin' Town)

Chorale and Fugue, Opus 1 - Gerald Sebesky

This song contains only whole notes, half notes, and quarter notes, a great composition for the students first concert. No clarinets cross the break, and the first trumpet's highest note is C.

Chronicles

Citadel of Saldin

The piece is a homage to the actual Citadel (also known as the Cairo Citadel). It was built during the medieval Islamic-era fortification of Egypt by Salah ad-Din and developed further by subsequent Egyptian rulers. The Citadel of Saladin was in use during some of the most significant events in Egyptian history, from the time it was constructed to the end of the Muhammad Ali Dynasty, which was in power from the early nineteenth century until the 1952 revolution, when the modern Egyptian republic was born. It is written in C-minor. Only the 1st clarinet crosses the break, and the 1st trumpet's highest note is F. The duration and some of the rhythms bring this work to an easy grade 3.

City Chase

Experience the thrill of the chase through the dark city streets! This cinematic theme begins with intensity and builds to an aggressive pursuit with many rhythmic twists and turns. A short reflective section in the shadows offers a brief reprieve before the exciting chase resumes with even greater energy and drive. This contemporary style composition offers the opportunity to practice alternating staccato and legato style playing. Several individual solo or lightly scored sections let your ensemble focus on listening and balance skills, until all players converge once again. Enjoy the chase of a great musical experience!

Clash of the Warriors

Written using a variety of tempi and shifting moods, Clash of the Warriors is loosely based upon the Bulgarian folk song "Kaval Sviri", which depicts two warriors preparing for and ultimately battling one another.
