Underlying rhythmic drive is provided by a repeated 8th-note pattern, and the piece is effectively enhanced with carefully planned dynamic contrasts. A rewarding piece that is fun to play!Duration: 2:15

Crossing Parallels (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Salfelder, Kathryn

Following the success of Kathryn'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. Duration: 7:00

Crosslands (Concert Band - Score and Parts) - Galante, Rossano

Creating a musical representation of earths 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. 04:10

Crossroads Wind Band Set (Score & Parts)

Crossroads is an attractive concert work of four interconnected movements, written for the 23rd music festival of the Bernese Cantonal Music Association in Aarwangen, Switzerland. The work has the river Aare to thank for the title of Crossroads -- it was an important trading hub, especially until the age of road building in the 18th century. The lively introduction is followed by a beautiful waltz and a romantic middle section. In the robust finale the orchestra can really roll its sleeves up! 09:15
