Canticle of the Saints - Ed Huckeby

An exciting Ed Huckeby composition that creates an energetic atmosphere of jubilance within the framework of the traditional overture style. Creative changing meter, syncopation and dramatic rhythmic drive, contrasting with the flowing melodic lines in the Andante section, this piece a real "winner" for contest and competition performances.

Canticle Of The Sun - Larry Clark

A piece with a lyrical chorale and a hymn-like quality, Canticle of the Sun is written in a free flowing style, which is a different approach from this composer. The middle section is based on quintal harmony and contrasts the full sonority of the more open lyrical main theme.

Canticum - James Curnow

MusicWorks - Grade 2 One of the classics of young band literature, this composition by James Curnow is found on many state lists throughout the country. Described as a song of jubilation, Canticum opens with a very distinctive and rhythmic main fast theme. The beautifully melodic slow 3/4 theme alternates between various choirs of the ensemble then leads to a dynamic return of the main theme and powerful coda. A must for every band program! (3:35)

Cantilena - Jared Spears

A wonderfully lyrical, slow to medium work ending in a lush grandioso. Just right for the center position in your next concert, and a superior musical offering that will fit several different grade levels.

Cantilena - Nancy H. Seward

In ABA form, this is an excellent tool for teaching contrasting styles. The opening andante is not difficult and has 2nd and 3rd parts that are rhythmically independent and important. A percussion break leads to the majestic march featuring interesting lines for low reeds/brass.
