Liahona Posted September 26, 2011 Share Posted September 26, 2011 I'd like to see more music that was originally written for brass ensembles. I know the Cavaliers did some in 2010 with "Harrison's Dream." I think brass band music in general would translate really well to the field. The elements are already there - loud, awesome brass music and percussion. Examples - (first piece is "Harrison's Dream," btw).There's a lot of good brass quintet and brass ensemble music in general, too. Stuff by Malcolm Arnold, Eric Ewazen, Anthony Plog, Victor Ewald, and others. Here is a personal favorite of mine written for brass ensemble...Paul Lovatt-Cooper's "Immortal" performed by the Black Dyke Band... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Two of the best euphonium players are David Thornton (seen in the above videos) and David Childs. Check out their videos on you tube. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FaustianMachine Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 "Man in the Ice" - Otto M. Schwarz. The Cadets/Bluecoats/The Cavaliers/Phantom Regiment? "Contre Qui, Rose?" - Morten Lauridsen. Phantom Regiment/Santa Calara Vanguard? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Haven't read every post, so hopefully someone suggested the Troopers playing just music from Dances With Wolves, not just one piece like in 91(?). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHdork Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 Troopers could pay homage to the old nemesis of the 'Troop' - the Native Americans - with this fine work by David Amram (composer of the VERY cool score to the ORIGINAL Manchurian Candidate...) - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZufrjQTJT0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ZVruJITEaY&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dn9IG-FuE4E Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FHdork Posted September 29, 2011 Share Posted September 29, 2011 In pulling together the 'boob' clips for the Amram - they also offered me this: The Prokofiev Piano Concerto No. 3 - this is the finale - notable because the composer is at the piano - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost Posted October 2, 2011 Share Posted October 2, 2011 (edited) Here's the Cory Band playing the 2011 test piece for the May 2011 European Band Championships. Two parts. OK DCI, who wants a go at this music? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YmAFXxBL1Q0&NR=1 Information about next years test piece. http://www.ebba.eu.com/ Edited October 2, 2011 by Ghost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
