Castellum - Jan Van der Roost

This work consists of two movements. The first part is rather quiet and pastoral in character, written in a gently rocking 12/8 time and expressing the tranquillity of the area around the medieval town of Oudenburg in Belgium. After a beautiful orchestral climax the second section, inspired by the Roman past of Oudenburg, begins. A somewhat oppressive and impending introduction leads to the musical reflection of an army parade: Oudenburg was a so-called "castellum," and the remains of the fortress are still visible in the current town plan. A more dynamic passage follows featuring the low brass. After that, the solemn rhythm of the parade is recaptured, culminating in atriumphant ending.

Castle of Bray - Kees Vlak

Castle on the Rhine - Michael Sweeney

Castlebay - Gene Milford

This fresh new setting of two traditional Scottish folk songs, Will Ye No Come Back Again and Keel Row, was written in honor of its namesake, the Scottish village Castlebay. Composer Gene Milford has crafted a well-scored offering for contest/festival performance that is reminiscent of English-style band pieces. After the striking opening, the piece moves to the more fiddle-like Keel Row in a lilting 6/8. All of the sections of the ensemble get to shine and the band will sound formidable with this piece.

Castles and Kings - Bruce Pearson

Visual images abound in this grade 1 concert march by Bruce Pearson. With imagination one can see the massive castles perched high on the hills, where lived the kings of yesteryear with their moats, drawbridges, immense gates, cavernous dungeons, and banquet halls. Castles and Kings was composed to portray the regality, splendor, and pageantry of the celebrations of the kings who inhabited those majestic castles. A perfect march for your first year bands.

Castlewood - Timothy P. Stakem

The perfect first-concert tune, Castlewood is melodic, energetic, and right in the wheelhouse of first-year players. Claves and tambourine are introduced, so there is a little something for the percussion section, too.

Castrum Alemorum - Jacob de Haan

The Castle of Allymes, "castrum Alemorum", located on a hill in the centre of the seigneury of Allymes (France) is an historic castle dating back to the fourteenth century, rebuilt in the sixteenth century and restored in the nineteenth. This piece evokes an image of the castle, its beautiful location within the surrounding landscape and its importance for the rural district of Ambrieu-en-Bugey. Combining beautiful melodies with rhythmical sections and modern sounds with passages in a renaissance style, this work of Jacob de Haan is an impressive musical challenge that is both fun to play as well as appealing for your audience: as you listen you can almost see the castlebefore your eyes.
