Cron Posted July 20, 2011 Share Posted July 20, 2011 Said it before and I'll say it again and again until it happens... Zappa, Zappa, Zappa! So much Zappa would translate with major pwnage into a drum corps arrangement. Very surprised that no one has ever done any of his stuff... maybe copyright issues?? I think this would be a good show... Peaches en Regalia Slime Montana G-spot Tornado Heck, the albums Strictly Genteel or The Yellow Shark have great material that would work very well.

gjd Posted July 22, 2011 Share Posted July 22, 2011 The film scores of Miklos Rozsa have a lot of great content. I am surprised corps have not played much of it. Also Passacaglia and Fugue (from the Kenton album), which I think East Coast Jazz played back in 1999 would be really great if one of the 'bigs' played it.

Its hard to believe that a drum corp has not done a FZ show. There are so many possibilities. I'm not sure that Black Page can even be translated into written notes for a drum corps show, but I would love to see someone try! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
danielray Posted July 29, 2011 Share Posted July 29, 2011 .Songs in the Key of Life is to be .You can throw in some from .Not thinking that the arrangements should be near original, but could be killer if done similar to BD this season... that style... and cutting out all the repetition.

N.E. Brigand Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 The final selection by the final contestant in the preliminary rounds of the piano competition we're hosting right now was "Toccatina", op. 36 by Nicolai Kapustin (1983), which turned out to be a delightful little jazz piece, but then searching for it on y-t I stumbled onto another "Toccatina" by Kapustin: the third section of his op. 40, Eight Concert Etudes (1984). I just listened to a half-dozen different clips, and is my favorite, though the sound quality of the recording is not good. I think this piece cries out for the Bluecoats to adapt.

FHdork Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 That is one of the BEST modern pieces I've ever heard... But I highly recommend this version instead: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kb2JTjCNEM8&feature=related This is the composer playing...and you get to see the music go by... The other link sounds...well, imagine a piano played underwater, and recorded with the microphone that comes with a realistic desk top cassette recorder player (the kind your grandfather used to record business meetings in 1972...), but instead of being recorded onto that stunning piece of audio technology, it was recorded onto a Fischer-Price toddler's tape deck toy...

DrinkinOuttaCups Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 Bump. Anybody got any suggestions for 2012? Personally, I'd like to see some of this: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HockeyDad Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Maybe some Paul Hindemith. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just saw Zappa Plays Zappa last night--outstanding! I think a Zappa show would be great. Seems to me, though, that this might be one of those situations where securing the rights would be difficult. His estate is unusually meticulous in how they handle his work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
