Cadevilina Crown Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 DCI needs more Vangelis. I know he's denied arrangements for the field in the past, but it's worth trying again in the modern era just to get one of these gorgeous pieces performed. For an opener: "Conquest of Paradise" (One of his most popular pieces, very reminiscent of Ravel's Bolero) For a ballad: "Hymn" (The 1996 re-release of the 1979 original) For a closer: "Eternal Alexander" (This comes from the movie "Alexander," which is terribly boring, but Vangelis' stunning soundtrack makes up for it. This particular track just keeps building and building until the glorious climax at the end. Would be the perfect way to end a show.)

Trouble is that they would try to get the pedal notes using the synthesizer and the poor low bass capability of the loudspeakers. The equipment used now is good at playing mid bass loudly, but doesn't go much lower than 60 hz, when the pedal C is at about 16 hz. All we would be exposed to is very distorted woofers doubling try to reproduce 16-40 hz notes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've fallen in love with this band Nightwish. Anyone think that in the right hands, this could serve as the bulk of a show? BK? BC? SCV? Crown? If you like it, check out the live version with the new singer for a real treat....wish I had seen this live... absolutely! and in that vein, i feel like this could def work as a ballad I think these both have real potential in the right hands....what a combination of great orchestration and "black" metal. Wow. Thanks Edited December 31, 2018 by DTrooper77 Add links Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and the Mandarins doing the Cultural Revolution Ballet from Nixon in China would be cool too! I’ve said it before but someone really needs to dedicate a show to Adam’s Harmonium...SCV would be the best fit. Crown or Cadets would also do it justice. Phantom of old could but I would cringe with their current incarnation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted January 3, 2019 Author Share Posted January 3, 2019 how has a corps not done this as a ballad? reminds me a bit of BD 2016, though this piece was written by nyman quite a bit earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
