PRPhan4ever Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 LOVE what I see/hear so far! The Khach 3rd Symphony is a REAL closer! -- BUT.... IF IT WERE ME (and it's not) being a musician for over 30 yrs - studied organ/brass etc, "I" would take reference to THIS recording starting at min mark 17;34 - bits/pieces can be put together and the use of MIDI, synthesizer and/or sampling of the "organ" part would be THE MOST fitting ending to this piece and would show off the brass, percussion and pit iin a canon type effect! Just my take on what I heard from the concert in the park -- this is a great piece of music and IMHO 'Only' Phantom can pull off something this dark & sinister (with maybe the exception of "crown"). I say ADD some organ parts ..... and, maybe, just MAYBE a huge tarp concealing the corps at the very end......... WOW!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don't like it as it is rn. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PRPhan4ever Posted June 9, 2017 Share Posted June 9, 2017 It shouldn't/couldn't be THAT hard to add some organ to the end... as it is presented now the ending 'as is' seems a bit TOO 'upbeat' an ending when the show is (from my take) being about darkness etc ... ending needs work, but, as is true to Phantom -- they always do some 'tweeking' & re-writes! 12 Contras/tubas? For a dark show more bass is needed, especially in the Khachaturian - I just hope & pray they don't over amplify the bass if they use some samples/audio... it would be justified if it were the pedal notes of the organ part.... we shall see! I sat for 2 hours and listened to the concert video (audio only) as I reviewed the original orchestral score -- marked the parts they used, and formulated this opinion (and it IS ONLY THAT - an opinion). Will Pitts is extremely talented and has written some wonderful wind ensemble scores (which I own) and he is well familiar with what is expected from the usual troupe and the legendary 'regiment sound'. Change the ending with some additions.... it'll be just like 2008! WINNER, WINNER !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, Will Pitts died at the end of 2008 if y'all recall. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe you may be thinking of the Iron Brigade from Madison Heights, MI (my first corps). The Blue Notes were from the UP.

war eagle Posted June 10, 2017 Share Posted June 10, 2017 (edited) Seeing the picture of all that sound equipment, I'd love to think they are using a serious digital organ this year, unlike the mickey mouse thing they used in the Paris show. I'd love to hear a good digital organ incorporated in the show. This is what a digital organ can sound like. In case you're not familiar him, Cameron is known as the bad boy of the organ. And his digitally designed organs are referred to as Lucifer of the organ. It's amazing how it can imitate the sound and feel of a tracker instrument and even the chiff of the wood pipes is so good.
