The "Music Corps Should Do" thread


Recommended Posts

a VERY unusual arrangement of Faure's "Pavane" with Maureen McGovern (soprano voice) as a soloist. 

Every corps with a "blue" in the name could do cool things with it if they could find a good featured soloist.

With the way today's corps are just blazing through fast runs and challenging articulations, I'm waiting for a corps to have the stones to take on one of the most legendary pieces in classical music history.

Just think of what Crown could do with this!!

And another thing...

Dvorak's Symphonic Variations. One of his most underrated works. There's a ton of tasty material in here with a recurring motif that could easily draw a whole show together... but how about that barnburner of a finale? Go to 18:30 to start the last four vigorous minutes.

I can envision PR doing the ending.  Ove the years they have nicely written the drill to seperate the various voices.

Great choice. My favorite tune of Dvorak's is his violin concerto. Which leads me to think... corps have a surprisingly sparse history with violin concertos. I could see the soloist stuff not translating well, but some have great melodies.

That beginning tho.

Also love the melodies in the third movement Sibelius violin concerto.
