Lance Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 I don't want anybody to think I'm a big Horner fan or anything. He ripped himself and others off a ton for sure, but there are a few really remarkable cues that he wrote. The one from Field of Dreams I posted earlier, Battle of the Mutara Nebula from Wrath of Khan, and then this wonderful little cue from Searching for Bobby Fischer. Maybe another chess show from CC? (mostly joking, please no) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) Also, I posted this exact link to Mahler 1/Mvmt 2 when I started this thread. And I just listened to it for the first time since I posted it. WOW. It's a spectacular performance.

N.E. Brigand Posted August 21, 2016 Share Posted August 21, 2016 (edited) Last year I saw a small high school band play: --"Ironheart" by Thomas Bergersen (2010); --"The Stag" from Cinderella by Patrick Doyle (2015); and --"American Overture (for Band)" by Joseph Willcox Jenkins (1955). The Jenkins has been played before by corps, although never by a Finalist, and could stand reviving, but all three pieces could be very effective I think. (The band also used a very small lighting effect surprisingly and highly effectively, vaguely like Legends did this year but not too much like that, and they also did nicely by having featured brass players perform while lying on the ground, a la Blue Stars in 2016 (and some other corps from time to time).)

Lance Posted August 21, 2016 Author Share Posted August 21, 2016 Would love to see Strauss's "Till Eulenspiegel" incorporated into some sort of Trickster-themed show. Maybe get Loki in on the action? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

20XXMM Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Frank Ticheli's Vesuvius would be nice to hear again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shempy Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Frank Ticheli's Vesuvius would be nice to hear again. I'd love to hear more of Blue Shades too (other than the first 30 secs and last minute). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
palmettomello Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 Other than Bloo using Creep in 2011, it surprises me that more corps haven't latched on to Scala and Kolancy's arrangements of modern rock hits. Could be some amazing stuff in brass writing. Their covers of With or without you, Everlong, and Nothing else matters comes to mind. I think this gets mentioned every year, but Alpine Symphony from Strauss. Please and thank you. Another version of Danzon No. 2 (originally Crown 2010) would be great to hear again. Bloo or Madison, maybe? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
