Lance Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 Bernstein pushes a little too hard at the end for me here, but boy is it energetic. Again, somebody, please, please, please. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted March 5, 2017 Author Share Posted March 5, 2017 (edited) I didn't like what Boston did with any of it, so I just pretend it hasn't been done yet. I'm also pretty sure they didn't do any of the 2nd movement. They actually started the show with mvmt 1, and ended it with mvmt 4.

KVG_DC Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Couldn't find the "show ideas" thread so I'll use this one. Was listening to Cadets 2015 where they used some of the Mulholland Drive soundtrack and got thinking about some corps doing a fully on David Lynch inspired Mulholland Drive show. They could wail into Crying with a trumpet screamer carrying the top and just cut out mid-note and do a "silencio" drill and have the guard collapse at the end of one movement. It'd take a corps willing to risk something super weird and do it well enough to not come off like a parody. Blue Devils? Oregon Crusaders? Colts? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mullholland is in Cali anyways. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KVG_DC Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 That was my thinking. And the whole 'if anyone could make something as weird as David Lynch work on the field...' factor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kdaddy Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 Some great back-and-forth between the piano and orchestra in the first movement. The slow movement is lovely. The third movement has some piano passages that would make great brass runs. And the whole thing is jazzy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RetiredMusTeach Posted March 5, 2017 Share Posted March 5, 2017 I agree about Mahler's 1st, 2nd movement. It is my favorite symphony. Also love the triumphant, horses galloping section of the 4th movement. Excuse my newness if this has already been done, and done with excellence, but I would be thrilled to hear a show open up with this one, right after the vocal ends. It needs a great low brass section to pull it off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
