Creepers in the Castle (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Ford, Ralph

This mysterious-sounding piece is actually in Bb minor but written in a concert Bb major key with the addition of accidentals. What a great time to reinforce the concept that accidentals last a whole measure, while also paying attention to dynamics and articulations!Duration: 2:00

Creepy Crawlies (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Story, Michael

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!)Duration: 1:45

Crescendo (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Evers, Harm

Duration: 2:45

Crescent Meadow

A beautiful and creative lyrical work for bands inspired by the composer's trip to California's Sequoia National Park, "Crescent Meadow" is an outstanding addition to the repertoire. The opening flute and clarinet solo fragments introduce a flowing melody amid varied harmonic textures, invoking vivid imagery of this beautiful meadow. A short section of contrasting style leads to a dramatic and breathtaking final statement. From there, the work subsides, ending as it began, with uncommon sensitivity. Ideal for concert or festival use, and very highly recommended!

Crescent Moon (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Van der Roost, Jan

Crescent Moon is a festive overture composed by Jan Van der Roost and was commissioned by a Japanese wind band. The piece begins solemnly in the middle register but gradually becomes brighter and more brilliant as the moon rises in the sky and begins to give more light. After this somewhat stately introduction, a virtuoso allegro emerges, displaying technical prowess in all registers, before the piece culminates with a joyful mood of optimism. An ideal concert opener, Crescent Moon will fill your ears with joy and happiness!Duration: 7:20
