Lance Posted December 6, 2019 Author Share Posted December 6, 2019 The allegro giocoso section (4:14-6:21) of the above video is spectacular. Poulenc has some of my favorite literature for solo winds, too. I love how he bounces back and forth between frenetic and lyrical over a 4-bar phrase, like in this piece, which I think could pretty easily be adapted for brass: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he and Berlioz are 2 of the most underappreciated composers of this century. Nearly every piece they wrote makes me want to get up and do...something? They just happen to both be French. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted December 7, 2019 Share Posted December 7, 2019 Did someone mentioned Berlioz? Hearing his Requiem live (in my CO uniform no less) was to die for. Enjoy the 2nd movement. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Ob4YhzKVyc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted December 7, 2019 Author Share Posted December 7, 2019 (edited) love berlioz's mass, but also love the last few minutes of his harold in italy overture: Edited January 18, 2022 by Lance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That second movement though... I'll play that all day. Edited December 8, 2019 by FaustianMachine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tedrick Posted December 13, 2019 Share Posted December 13, 2019 Choral repertoire is perfect for drum corps - check out anything by Oakwood University Aeolians - just really great choral music performed at the highest levels of excellence - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My personal opinion would be to lean to the more "contemporary" choral writers. Rutter could translate very well and has a VAST grouping of works. Shaw might be a little "bland" for the field. When I read this my mind went to Whitacre almost immediately. I would be interested to see how "Leonardo dreams of his flying machine" could be scored for brass and percussion. It could certainly lead to some really creative guard moments. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cavaliers did Rutter for several seasons in the '90's. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
