thefrontensemblenerd Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 as much as i hate to say it i feel like i wont ever hear "in the stone" or "strawberry soup" or "birdland" out of a corps anytime soon, not entirely a bad thing but it was nice hearing and seeing those sorts of fun arrangements on the field with drum corps instrumentation Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 Sorry to stomp on your favorite genres but you have had more than enough offerings for the past good number of years :) Look at this list.....come on people..there has to be more areas corps are willing to explore than just Classical, Symphonic, Wind ensemble genres http://www.musicgenreslist.com/ I think that list is bogus. For instance, it gives equal weight to "Baroque"--one of 17 entries under the "Classical" heading--and to "Dubstep"--one of 19 entries under the "Dance" (=rock-influenced dance) heading. (That's right, according to that list, there are fewer genres in 500+ years of Classical music than there are in about 40 years of Dance music.) Baroque describes a style of music that was written from approximately 1600 to 1750. There are probably dozens if not scores of varieties of Baroque music, each equivalent in classification to Dubstep. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thefrontensemblenerd Posted April 17, 2015 Share Posted April 17, 2015 However I think some of Radiohead's music would work well with the activity...as well as TOOL and NIN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But that's just me! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think the list is a perfect reflection by any means but it does list a bunch interesting and uniqe genres that corps don't touch. What's bogus to me is that many corps keep going to the same well year after year after year........

HornTeacher Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 And personally, I don't think either necessarily translate well to drum corps. But that's just me! I would tend to agree with you, Eleran. However...I am rather loathe to ever state broad generalizations, especially when it pertains to a broad body of music spanning 150 years, give or take (1600-1750 is merely the general time period of the baroque, not the exact. In much the same way that 99.65 isn't "almost perfect." ) In the hands of a truly able and visionary arranger, I'm sure that there could be something from the period which could find success, and would most probably knock the pants off both of us.

DrumManTx Posted May 7, 2015 Share Posted May 7, 2015 (edited) Sorry to resurrect this thread........but if this isn't reason enough to bring on the woodwinds I don't know what is. Make sure you at least get twenty seconds in. That's where the magic begins. All the chills. And tears. (That might be because of the laughing). Yes it's a recorder but to my dad they're all the same thing anyways. #bringiton https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KolfEhV-KiA Edited May 7, 2015 by DrumManTx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
