The "Music Corps Should Do" thread


Recommended Posts

I've put it on here before, but Nils Frahm is a genius. What he does on pianos is incredibly percussive, and there are a lot of different directions corps could take with his madness.

Toilet Brushes

Hammers

Careful what you wish for Lance. Nils has done his fair share of minimilism. :D

More concerti and sonatas for solo instruments and accompaniment, please. (As in "Concerto for Instrument X and Orchestra" or "Sonata for Instrument X and Piano" and the like) Criminally underplayed in DCI.

I suggest Avner Dorman's piano concerto. The first movement has some energetic passages. Second movement is gorgeous and methinks reminiscent of the slow movement of Ravel's piano concerto.

Eliran Avni? He's the newest piano professor at my college! I saw him play in concert on Thursday. He seems really cool.

And yeah, after seeing SCV's and Bluecoats' takes on Dorman, I want to hear more of his music played.

I'm far from anti-minimalism.

Just not a fan of it for 10 of 13 minutes in a dci show.

I'd still love to hear a corps do Bowie's Low combined with Glass's Low Symphony.

Some great ideas in here. I have been listening to a lot of movie scores lately and I came across a lovely gem from Disney's Dinosaur (2000). It's been since The 2000 Cadets that Disney has been featured on the DCI field. I've put together an entire show with the Dinosaur score by James Newton Howard.

Check out the links (I have them starting at certain points).


Enjoy and envision this in competition!

Howard wrote some very marching-music-friendly scores for Disney cartoons. The band I teach did a show of his music from "Atlantis" back around 2002.

I am still waiting for an all-Jimi Hendrix show. :ninja:

I think "Hey Joe" would make a great "OK... I want to slit my wrists now" ballad. :tongue:

The Velvet Knights should reform and perform a Schwarzenneger meets Shakespeare show entitled Hasta La Verdi.
