Castle of Bray - Kees Vlak

Castle on the Rhine - Michael Sweeney

Castlebay - Gene Milford

This fresh new setting of two traditional Scottish folk songs, Will Ye No Come Back Again and Keel Row, was written in honor of its namesake, the Scottish village Castlebay. Composer Gene Milford has crafted a well-scored offering for contest/festival performance that is reminiscent of English-style band pieces. After the striking opening, the piece moves to the more fiddle-like Keel Row in a lilting 6/8. All of the sections of the ensemble get to shine and the band will sound formidable with this piece.

Castlebridge - John O'Reilly

Castlebrooke Overture - Claude T. Smith

This overture is perfect for exposing less experienced players to mixed meter. Creatively scored, with thoughtful development, this piece can work well with small bands. An excellent teaching tool.

Visual images abound in this grade 1 concert march by Bruce Pearson. With imagination one can see the massive castles perched high on the hills, where lived the kings of yesteryear with their moats, drawbridges, immense gates, cavernous dungeons, and banquet halls.

Castles In Europe - Europe

Composer James Reese Europe, one of the most famous African-American musicians of his day, was called the "Martin Luther King of music" by pianist Eubie Blake. The first African-American bandmaster in the United States Army, Europe gained great popularity as a dance band leader, a military band leader, recording artist, and a composer of merit. Known in New York music circles, and also for touring Europe with his National Guard band, Europe is remembered today for composing several works, including "Castles In Europe" with the subtitle "The Innovation Trot - Ragtime March." This delightful work is arranged for today's concert band by Chandler L. Wilson. An enjoyable ragtime work from an American composer to be remembered!

Castles of Llyr - Jared Spears

A distinctive work inspired by folklore surrounding Llyr, the Welsh God of the Sea. A powerful, grandiose opening sets the scene for the exciting yet mysterious allegro of quickly changing instrumental colors. A slow and dramatic section follows, building gradually to an explosive return to the allegro. Great student and audience appeal. Rated as a definite "pick'' for contest.
