Crossing the Rubicon - Robert Sheldon

Exotic colors and driving rhythms portray a metaphor of taking action from which there is no turning back. Exploring a variety of timbres, a heartfelt, yet deliberate melody takes center stage as it is surrounded by a wealth of rhythmic and harmonic backdrops. Ultimately, all elements unite in a powerful statement.

Crosslands - Rossano Galante

Creating a musical representation of earth's grand vistas and landscapes, Crosslands opens with a delicate, simple theme that is pastoral and reflective. Building to a bold heroic theme stated by Trumpets andHorns, the piece then concludes as the music subsides quietly representing the soft rays of a picturesque ocean sunset. Another beautifully descriptive work for winds from the pen of Rossano Galante. Dur: 4:10ScorePlay - click to view score with recording

Crown and Scepter - Gregory B. Rudgers

Crowns and scepters have been an essential part of the royal celebration since medieval times. This piece suggests the declaration of an opening ceremony with a bold militaristic fanfare, followed by a regal processional, reminding the listener of kings and queens receiving admiration from their people as they process on a stately occasion. Besides its potential as a piece for contest or festival performance, it will also work well for graduation ceremonies.

Crown Century - David Shaffer
