Catawba Crossing - William G. Harbinson

Named for the beautiful Catawba River, this piece begins with a brilliant fanfare, revealing the principle motive upon which the entire composition is based. Shifting tonalities and colorful scoring are the hallmark of the opening section. This is followed by an expressive con moto section that provides the piece with dramatic contrast. Once the opening theme returns, Catawba Crossing develops into a rousing march in 6/8 time, followed by a return to the opening material, bringing the piece to an exciting conclusion. An impressive choice for contest or festival performance.

Catcher Of Shadows - Philip Wilby

Catedrales - Bert Appermont

Cathedrals have always appealed to the imagination. Hundreds of years of manpower have been invested in their building and it is not for nothing that today they represent imposing symbols of architecture and history. The cathedral is also a great source of inspiration for compositions, drawing on a full palette of acoustic echo effects, Gregorian melodies and organ based choral themes.The work "Catedrals" opens with a five tone motif using double tonguing which resonates through space. Then comes a Gregorian antiphonal theme "Salve Regina" which is heard in the euphonium and later combines with the opening motif. The quicker passage that follows is basedentirely on the intervals in the motif which by now has added rhythmic variations and develops in different forms, including a fugue. The work then builds towards its first climax, from which unusual muted sounds emerge creating an atmosphere shrouded in mystery.Gradually, more melodious fragments are added to the Gregorian antiphonal theme which develops into an expansive choral, emulating the organ and which rises above the sound mass. The work grows more powerful and brilliant in sound until it culminates in a short and explosive finale wherein elements from the whole work come together.

Catharsis Trilogy - Geert Schrijvers

Geert Schrijvers lost a large group of his friends in the Hercules air crash in 1996. As part of his healing process he wrote this very personal musical triptych. The three parts can be performed individually as stand alone works, or as a complete trilogy. The three parts are: I. Catharsis, II. Left Unsaid, III. Kintsugi. The music paints a picture of the healing process of loss: Catharsis.

Cathedral Music - Anton Bruckner

With its bare fifths at the opening, the rapid harmonic transitions to none-related chords, the modal harmonies, and the majestic ceremonial mood, "Ecce Sacerdos Magnus" is one of Bruckner's most powerful works. Originally a liturgical choral piece, this setting is skillfully arranged for band, so they too may experience the solemnity, mysticism and deep religious feeling of Bruckner's work. Compelling!
