Willie85 Posted April 23, 2009 Share Posted April 23, 2009 I know it's bad to quote myself, but I've added a couple of pieces to my list, and I love hearing what others have to say. I've donwloaded a number of pieces I hadn't hear before thanks to suggestions in this thread. Anyway, here's my list: Orchestral pieces Low Symphony—Philip Glass (any corps, please just do it) Suite for Organ, Brass Quintet, and Percussion—Craig Phillips (Cavies or Phantom) Radical Light—Don Freund (SCV, Phantom, BK, Boston) Symphony Concertante for Organ and Orchestra—Jongen (Phantom, please) link to mp3 Prayer of St. Gregory—Alan Hovhaness (ANYTHING by Hovhaness, really) link to mp3 Tabuh Tabuhan—Colin McPhee (Crown, Bluecoats, SCV) link to mp3 Made in America—Joan Tower (SCV, BK, The Cadets) Prelude and Scherzo—Brett Baker Four Sea Interludes—Benjamin Britten (Phantom, SCV, or BK) link to mp3 Symphony 6—Bruckner (Phantom or BK) Symphony #5 ½ —Don Gillis Variations, Chaconne and Finale—Norman Dello Joio Symphony #1 (The Titan) —Gustav Mahler (Phantom, please) Epigrams—Zoltan Kodaly (Would love to see the GMen tackle this) Gaelic Symphony (in E-minor) —Amy Beach (Pioneer!, or Phantom, SCV, BK, the Cadets) Wind Ensemble/Brass Ensemble pieces Baron Cimetiere’s March (thanks to Nikk for commissioning this one)—Donald Grantham Trauersinfonie—Wagner (could be an instant classic for Phantom just like Elsa's Procession) Casanova—De Meij Journey into Freedom—Eric Ball link to mp3 Choral How They So Softly Rest—Healey Willan link to mp3 Miserere nostri, Domine—Thomas Tallis Libera nos I & II—John Sheppard link to mp3 Soundtracks End Credits to the Film Little Children-Thomas Newman (love this track) The Day is Yours (Henry V soundtrack) —Patrick Doyle (Crown or Phantom) link to mp3 Chevaliers de Sangreal—Hanz Zimmer (the only thing I’ve ever liked by him) (SCV or the Cadets) link to mp3 Other Our Prayer—Brian Wilson (Crown or the Cadets) The Light-Album by Spock's Beard If current programming trends continue, no doubt some corps will incorporate all these into a single show. (Sorry couldn't resist ) Some great picks though - particularly the McPhee, Britten, and Mahler, yes always more Mahler. And Bruckner too for that matter. And yes, would like to see Gmen get back on their Kodaly kick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoats88 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I'm adding Faure's Pavane now...it's a piece I've wanted to hear on the field for a long time, but I forgot about it. The Blue Stars are doing it this year we played Pavanne as our closer in 1982. Not sure if it is Faure's or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoats88 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 The near impossible part is actually getting the rights to arrange Rush music. High school I work with was going to do a "Moving Pictures" show (I think that was the album name, I'm not really up on my Rush too much) but was unable to obtain the rights. Suncoast Sound's Drum solo in 1984 had YYZ and Changes by Yes combined. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluecoats88 Posted April 24, 2009 Share Posted April 24, 2009 I'd like to hear either Phantom or SCV do Hindemuth's "Matisse de Mahler" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Festival Variations-Claude T. Smith (Cavies did this once...kind of. I'd like to hear another corps try it, too.) Variations On a Hymn By Louis Bourgeois-Also by Claude T. Smith Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_S Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 Here's an odd thought... I wonder if anyone someone would be able to create a pretty interesting show from the music of Menomena. I think you could open with "Muscle n Flo", maybe close with "Gaya". "Walking" could be a kooky interlude. "Twenty Cent Revolt" would be intense, especially if they kept the drumset going throughout. "Rose" might be a no-brainer for the ballad, and if they could recreate that tasty swing it would work beautifully. This is somewhat minimal music, in that there aren't a whole lot of layers, but I think that lends tremendous possibility as far as meshing multiple songs together into a killer eleven minute production.

NR_Ohiobando Posted April 25, 2009 Share Posted April 25, 2009 (edited) "Frenzy" by Andrew Boysen (scroll down to listen to it) Cadets or SCV. (the recording is slower than I've heard it in another concert, but I still love it). Edited April 25, 2009 by NR_Ohiobando Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted April 25, 2009 Author Share Posted April 25, 2009 Love that piece. His "Scherzo" is good, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
