kansasDC Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 need to see if its the same when on the move Brass was in music block Saturday morning. They were playing the 220 bps section of part 2 while marching in block form in the parking lot. All I'll say is . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SynthLine09 Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 They just posted another clip of the Hornline playing Eric Whitacres "When David Heard" absolutely haunting.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kstein Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 Oh my! 2 thoughts: How amazingly well this reborn corps is doing. (Kudos to the staff, admin, and kids!) How crappy these wonderfully long, loud, and complex brass passages with a slamming battery are going to sound in the Echo Chamber. Sigh. I think I'll focus on how much I'm looking forward to seeing this show in Allentown. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fifer Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 (edited) While it does sound like the horns and battery are being given more challenging parts and continue to improve over the years, so far (based on these four clips alone) this music seems to be taking a step back from prior years as far as melody is concerned, IMHO. Rhythmically it is very "driving" but melodically it is just the typical modern drum corps whole notes followed by running parts, followed by whole notes building to a crescendo. Hopefully there will be more hummable melodies in other sections of the show. Note, I have not heard the fifth clip yet, so keep your panties from bunching up if you intend to reply to my comments based on that clip.

Well, its a lot of phillip glass stuff, so I think its to be expected that the music will be more harmonically driven than melodically. But you do have a valid point.
