Centre Island

Centrifugal Force - Sean O'Loughlin

Just as the title suggests, this exciting original work is full of push-and-pull contrasts between musical concepts that will have the audience pinned to the backs of their seats. Open voicings give the piece its fresh and mysterious sound.

Centrifuge - Earl J. Fox Jr.

Centrifuge was written for the 2015 Southeastern Louisiana Middle School Band Camp and its director, Paul Frechou. This piece portrays the a centrifuge vigorously spinning with no sign of slowing down or stopping. An allegro tempo is used to fuel the drive and impetus throughout this energetic musical depiction of a whirling perpetual motion dynamo. The opening theme is first presented by clarinets playing in their lowest register as the machine starts up and begins to build up speed. Underlying the entire work is a pulsating percussion section which provides the thrust and forward motion along with various syncopated rhythms contributed by the winds.

Centuria - James Swearingen

Exhibiting all of the factors which have made him such a popular composer of original works for band such as intelligent, idiomatic writing for each instrument, great playability, singable themes, rhythmic vitality, interesting percussion parts and, in short, an uncanny understanding of the school concert band and student musicians. Very highly recommended.

Century Point - Robert Sheldon

A distinctive composition full of the inventive writing which has made Robert Sheldon such a popular composer. Great interplay between the brass and woodwind sections coupled with Sheldon's ability to write superb melodies, makes the Largo section one of the nicest we have heard. Premium choice for contest or concert!

Cerebral Vortex - Øyvind Moe

Cerebral Vortex was composed for Musikkforeningen Nidarholm for their participation in the 2009 World Music Contest in Kerkrade, The Netherlands. Tthe first performance was given at this contest conducted by Espen Andersen, with the composer in thesaxophone section.The title is meant to describe a from of writer's block caused not by lack of ideas, but rather a lack of ability to channel and form the madness swirling around inside the head of someone with a great desire to express something. In this respect,the piece can be said to be an exercise in keeping focus from the composer's side. A limited amount of material is repeated and treated to create a development that always has a solid anchor point. This is emphasized by the return to the openingtheme towards the end.
