ftwdrummer Posted June 14, 2013 Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) Coming off their second DCPI Open Class championship, the Texas Zephyrs are pleased to announce their Season XX production: Malice. "In preparing for our next season, we wanted a show that would be both a follow-up to our previous show, and the complete opposite," says corps director Steven Silverberg. "Much as Season XIX's "The Ascension" was a presentation of the ascent into heaven, 'Malice' is designed to look at those left behind." The corps continues its tendency toward unique musical selections with this year's show. Musical selections include: Sensemaya, Silvestre Revueltas The Quietude, Manattan Transfer (Chuck Jonkey, Alan Paul) Tira Me a Las Aranas, The Mars Volta (Oram Rodriguez-Lopez, Cedric Bixler-Zavala) Drunkship of Lanterns, The Mars Volta (Omar Rodriguez-Lopez, Cedric Bixler-Zavala) "After our success with "Where the Streets Have No Name" last year, we wanted to continue to explore the use of more rock- and pop-style compositions," says Silverberg. "We wanted to base the show around Sensemaya, to take advantage of our excellent low brass, and that suggested a show with a bit of a Caribbean, South American, Latin flavor, music-wise. "The Quietude" settles into the primal feel Sensemaya establishes, while the two Mars Volta tracks transition from what has come before quite well, and leave the audience with a heart-stopping conclusion.
