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!

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.

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

Crossroads - Michael Oare

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 invigoratingmixed-meter faster section, Crossroads portrays two divergent musical paths in an appealing and very attainable work for young bands. Dur: 3:50
