Lance Posted September 21, 2017 Author Share Posted September 21, 2017 When corps do go the pop/alternate genre route, they almost always do pieces that are classically/symphonically oriented if you really think about it. Everything Bloo has done with popular genres since Creep (and including creep) have been pieces that are highly complex harmonically. They sound great because the arranger has something great to work with. Same thing with Crown and what they did with Rach Star and such. Heck, even "great" classical pieces are really hard to get sounding great for brass and percussion. I'd say that a lot of the reasons you'd apply to the genres above so rarely hitting the field are the same as French impressionistic music not getting done very often. It's a tightrope, and even Wayne Downey and Michael Klesch's powers extend so far when there's not a lot of harmonic structure to the music or it's incredibly rubato, for instance. And if it's just downright stupid (like the K-Pop stuff), we end up hearing pre-recorded samples instead of hearing the brass and percussion do their thing. This is making me sound like I don't want more pop/other genres, when I really, really do. So I'll stop now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Here is a list of genres to choose from: http://www.musicgenreslist.com/ Well, "classical" in the broad sense used by classical radio stations encompasses some 400+ years of music from lots of genres. There's surely an argument to be made that Beethoven and Vaughan Williams, separated by more than a century, are farther apart in musical terms than, say, Frank Zappa and Celine Dion.

While I'm a firm believe of book over movie I have to say the score really adds something to this scene in The Da VInci Code. YES PLEASE. That soundtrack is excellent, but that piece in particular is really fantastic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shawnguitarguy Posted September 27, 2017 Share Posted September 27, 2017 (edited) Don't post a lot on here, but I lurk a decent amount so I figured I'd throw an idea or two out there that I haven't seen posted here: All of these to me just sound like they have some face melting moments.
