Dir_en_X Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 This just reinforces my idea to use barbershop for an I&E piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paralda Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Knowing admittedly very little about music, Bruckner8 mentioned that Barbershop groups use chords and intonation really unheard of in Drum Corps, and I was thinking it'd be awesome if a Drum Corps tried to learn something from a Barbershop approach to music.

kickhaltsforlife Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 not just happy judges, trust me. It will be noticed by the fans also. You think there was a punch and you felt it with G's? This would be amazing if all corps did things this way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not sure what you mean by a different intonation, but the harmony used in barbershop is not anything crazy or out of this world. Talented barbershop groups are efficient at 'just intonation' meaning they tune each note of a chord appropriately to its type/function. This is common practice in the music idiom. Aside from that, Dominant Seventh chords and secondary dominants are used generously. Its just a different style of composition using the same tonality as most common practice period music. Just like jazz/classical/whatever... i had a weird urge to get all academic, I dont mean to be all high and mighty. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barbershop_music has some good info on the music. I think its really cool that barbershop is starting to get the recognition it deserves. not just in drumcorp, but also in the public eye.

Perry S Posted December 2, 2009 Share Posted December 2, 2009 Most Corps Have Five "Voices" in the hornline. They changed to Bb to make things easier.... Just saying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
