Creepers in the Castle
What would a creepy piece be if not in a minor key? Managed through the use of accidentals, this mysterious-sounding piece is actually in B-flat minor through a concert B-flat major key with the addition of accidentals. Great time to reinforce the concept that accidentals last a whole measure. With careful attention to dynamics and articulations, you’re certain to have a spooktacular performance!

Creepy Crawlies
Well, you’ve probably heard of tributes to almost everything, but how about a tribute to bugs? Yes, with tongue very much in cheek, Michael Story has penned this original novelty to bring more than just a snicker from your audiences. Hear the insect as it approaches (your trumpet section playing on mouthpieces) and a resounding “slap” as the culprit is sent to greener pastures. Add some visuals from the band as the insect “circles,” and you have yourself a guaranteed successful concert moment. For you environmentalists: No harmful pesticides are included. (Oh my, that’s “OFF”-ful!) (1:45)SKU: ALBD9951 -

Crosslands
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 and horns, 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: 4:10SKU: HL50499564 -

Crossroads
Commissioned for the Madison County (IN) Middle School Honor Band, the title and nature of this work references the Indiana state motto, “The Crossroads of America.” By contrasting a bold and majestic statement with an invigorating mixed-meter faster section, Crossroads portrays two divergent musical paths in an appealing and very attainable work for young bands.

Cruise Control
A cool swing groove on the ride cymbal opens this jazzy piece for first year band students. With the low brass and woodwinds providing a driving walking bass line, the trumpets, saxes, and upper woodwinds trade the melody effectively throughout the piece. Solid scoring and a strong rhythmic foundation allow the band to really lay back and put themselves into the “cruise control” setting! This is a great learning tool introducing elements of the swing and jazz genres to the young band.SKU: AL33838
