Cross Creek (concert band) Carl Strommen

A broad opening statement launches this fascinating experience of rhythmic involvement and superb melodic interest. The ongoing pulse with both a duple and triple sensation gives underpinnings to the thematic material. The opening and closing sections of driving force are beautifully separated by a flowing segment complete with wonderfully contrasting moments, rhythmically, harmonically and melodically. This is a brilliantly constructed work with magnificent audience appeal. (4:37)
