Cumberland Cross
Cumberland Cross (Full Score)
Item number 8897262CC, $7.00
Cumberland Cross - Concert Band
Item number 8897263CC, $55.00

Here's a real gem of a piece! "Cumberland Cross" is from the pen of Carl Strommen, a composer more widely known for his choral works. With this piece, though, Mr. Strommen is firmly established as one of the best band music composers ever. This isn't the easiest program piece for your next concert, but might well be the best one!

Estimated Performance Time: 3:15

Technical Notes: The slow, opening section of "Cumberland Cross" should be conducted in a chorale manner with liberty taken in tempo and dynamics. The bright section (measure 33 to 60) is to be approached lightly and playfully with special attention given to dynamics and articulation. Measure 61 prepares "Cumberland Cross" for a return to the opening statement and closes at measure 64 with a bright, short two-measure phrase.

Full horn sections are a wonderful thing, but they are not always available. With this in mind, all horn parts have either been cued or are part of the brass choir. Where exposed, the horns are written in two parts or in unison.

The xylophone & bells part is labeled "Mallets (Xylophone & Bells)". The percussion part is labeled "Percussion (Whip, Tambourine, Triangle, Suspended Cymbal, Crash Cymbals)".

Composer(s): This piece was composed by Carl Strommen.

Publisher: This piece was published by Alfred Publishing Company.

Series: This piece is part of the series "Alfred's Concert Band Series".
