Check out some of the DCA corps about Hazo repertoire. Brigadiers 2008 Program

"Reflexions: The Music of Samuel R. Hazo"

What is some great repetoire that corps have yet to use yet?

Can you create a show from unused repetoire?

For me:

A lot of Samuel Hazo stuff has yet to be used. Fantasy on a Japanese Folk Song would be awesome for an oriental theme.

How about Samuel Barber's Sure on this Shining Night?

Miserere Mei, Deus by Allegri would be perfect for a warm-up piece or powerful slow section.

Are you crazy ?? This music has way to many melodies and musical lines to be any good.....

How about a couple from theme park rides (They actually sell full cd's of ride music),

And probably the saddest most haunting theme (Makes Adagio sound happy) a bit long though

Crank up the bass a tad too.....
