Close Encounter at Loch Ness - John Prescott

One of the most intriguing mysteries of all times surrounds this fabled body of water in a land rich in legend and lore. Imagine being on the shores of Loch Ness, part of a large group of peasants having a party, dancing while accompanied by the tuneful sounds of bagpipes and flutes. At the height of the revelries, the huge, shadowy shape of the Loch Ness monster rises out of the water, causing everyone to flee in a panic. After gathering at another location, still on the shore of the loch, the dance begins again. Another chapter added to the legend as everyone wonders: will they be left in peace or will the monster return?

Cloud Dancing

Filled with tuneful melodies and an energetic lilt throughout, Cloud Dancing is sure to have great appeal for students as well as audiences. There is a wealth of teachable elements as well; developing confidence in 3/4, use of simple mixed meters in the slow middle section, and brief solo opportunities for Flute, Clarinet, Alto Sax, and Trumpet. Enjoyable as well as educational. Dur: 3:15

Cloud Dancing - Larry Clark

Larry Clark creates the feeling of dancing on a cloud through this whimsical piece for beginning bands. The core of the piece hovers around lush harmonies, providing a beautiful base for the floating melodic material. It is memorably tuneful, flowing, and gives every section of the band a moment to shine.

Cloud Dancing - Roger Cichy

The composer is a glider pilot and this composition expresses his experience and feeling while gliding through the air and clouds. It is a wonderful experience of varying tempos and musical ideas, all very melodical. The ranges are all very much within a Grade 3. The first trumpet's highest note is F.

The Solo Cornet part serves as a conductor guide.Parts for Eb Horns are included; no F Horn parts are published for this work.If a C Piccolo/C Flute part was not published originally, one has been subsequently added by our editorial staff.

Cloud Nine - Lauren Bernofsky

This spirited work, in 3/4, maintains a quick tempo throughout. The opening, rhythmic motif builds steadily before the full band states the main theme. A lightly scored middle section leads into a restatement of the beginning material. A wonderful piece to challenge your group, as Lauren makes use of some independent lines while staying well within the grade level.
