kdaddy Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 As I posted in another thread, I've always to see a corps perform Gazebo Dances by Corigliano. I think it'd hearken back to the Cadets' 90s glory days when they'd perform something with a little whimsy (e.g., the Sparke stuff in 1997). the whimsical Waltz: the driving Tarantella: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted August 16, 2016 Author Share Posted August 16, 2016 (edited) Juliet part 2? Oh I forgot that Phantom had done it. Oops. The music certainly lends itself to a lot more concepts than Juliet, though. Edited August 16, 2016 by Lance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hrothgar15 Posted August 16, 2016 Share Posted August 16, 2016 I wish a corps would do some anime music, I know Blue stars and Mandarins did some in 04, but they did not play it too well. I hope someone comes out with an anime show soon, there is some really good music in the anime world. Madison Scouts 1998! Best anime music ever put on the field. That worked way better than it should have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoping for lightning to strike twice? Didn't you recommend that piece before Phantom performed it in 2011? Edit: I see that someone else already pointed that out to you. Sorry for the duplication.

N.E. Brigand Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 I see that the BBC recently polled more than 150 conductors, including some big names, and asked each of them to name the three greatest symphonies. Tabulating those responses, they came up with a top 20 (some commentary on the list appears here, where I learned of the poll). Here they are in chronological order, with mentions of some of the more notable performances in DCI: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony No. 40 (1788) Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony No. 41, Jupiter (1788) Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 3, Eroica (1804) Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 5 (1808) -- Glassmen 2006 Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 6, Pastoral (1808) Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 7 (1812) Ludwig van Beethoven: Symphony No. 9 (1824) -- Phantom Regiment 1977, 1978; Carolina Crown 2015; Boston Crusaders 2005; Blue Knights 1998 Hector Berlioz: Symphonie fantastique (1830) -- Kingsmen 1974, Phantom Regiment 1985 Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 1 (1876) Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 2 (1877) Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 3 (1883) Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 7 (1883) Johannes Brahms: Symphony No. 4 (1884) -- Blue Knights 2010 Anton Bruckner: Symphony No. 8 (1890) -- Cavaliers 2015 Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky: Symphony No. 6, Pathétique (1893) -- Phantom Regiment 1976, 1999; Blue Knights 1998 Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 2, Resurrection (1894) -- Phantom Regiment 2006, 1986; Carolina Crown 2010 Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 3 (1896) Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 9 (1909) Jean Sibelius: Symphony No. 7 (1924) Dmitri Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5 (1937) -- Phantom Regiment 1996, 1974 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Damonallred Posted August 20, 2016 Share Posted August 20, 2016 Been thinking about The Academy a lot. Maybe too serious, but I think they could pull off a "Somewhere in Time" show. With how beautiful their closer is this year, doing that kind of beauty over 12 minutes could be really stunning. I can only imagine the costuming for them too. I would kill to hear them to a full on 3 minute ballad opener of the main titles from that. Ugh. On the more humorous/fun route, I still think that Silent Film idea someone jokingly brought up earlier in the season would actually fit them perfectly, not sure on the music, but what they could do with that kind of comedy could be REALLY fun. I'm sure I'll come up with more. I hardcore second that notion about the Somewhere In Time Main Titles. But it sounds more like a closer than an opener to me. And though we'll probably never hear this played by a corps, I long to hear an excellent brass line play it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't believe I forgot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted August 20, 2016 Author Share Posted August 20, 2016 (edited) No disrespect at all to the Cadets, but I still really really really want a corps to give "The Place Where Dreams Come True" from the Field of Dreams soundtrack its day in the sun. I've had it in my wish list since I started this thread 8 years ago, and great as what the Cadets did was, I want more. In particular, Id love the first 2 minutes or so done relatively un-chop-n-bopped. I always think of angels, or hope, or childhood when I hear it. A little derivative of Copland, but that's not necessarily a bad thing. Edited August 20, 2016 by Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
