Crooner's Serenade

Cross Canyon March - Nicholas Duron

Cross River Overture - Nancy H. Seward

The opening fanfare fades to an expressive andante featuring contrasts between woodwind and brass sonorities. A short call in the trombones simulates the horn of an excursion boat and heralds a spirited allegro with contrasting articulated patterns, legato passages and repartee between high and low voices.

Cross Talk - Joe Schaefer

A medium tempo swinger featuring plenty of call and response hence the title "Cross Talk." A must for your library as it presents the classic big band jazz sound with the emphasis on call & response. Includes written jazz solos with plenty of solid ensemble and straight ahead writing. Includes an optional flute part. Very Nice!

Crossbreed - Thiemo Kraas

Crosscurrent - Robert Longfield

Energetic and rhythmic accurately describe this attractive composition for beginning bands. Written in a minor mode, the main melodic elements are created using only quarter notes. Underlying rhythmic drive is provided by arepeated 8th-note pattern, and the piece is effectively enhanced with carefully planned dynamic contrasts. A rewarding piece that is fun to play! Dur: 2:15 (Grade 1-1/2)

Crossett Brook - Grice

Rob Grice's lyrical writing for the young band has become a staple in the repertoire. "Crossett Brook" continues his tradition of flowing melodies in comfortable ranges accompanied by a beautiful harmonic treatment. Excellent writing for young band and a wonderful programming choice!

Crossfire! - Gary P. Gilroy

A composition for intermediate bands that are ready to make some intense and passionate music. Driving and relentless, students will enjoy the intense nature of the piece as well as the occasional time signature changes that will keep them on their toes and keep listeners fully engaged. Youll find this striking work anything but predictable.

Crossgate - James Barnes

Crossing Parallels - Kathryn Salfelder

Following the success of Kathryn Salfelder's Cathedrals (2009), the American Bandmasters Association commissioned her to create this new work for band. Premiered at the 2010 ABA National Convention, Crossing Parallels offers a creative tapestry of engaging sounds and textures as it combines elements of Renaissance and Baroque musical gestures with contemporary notions of set theory and harmony. The seemingly contradictory nature of the title is reflected in the overlapping and intertwining of thematic ideas vying for attention.
