Jeff Ream Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Was watching some old shows (1998, 1985, 1987 Cadets, etc) and there are so many tasty and subtle mezzopiano ensemble moments. It seems like the activity has gone away from that...we got a lot of forte runs building into fff impact chords. Anyone else notice this? Not every corps has to be Star 1993 but yea... soft dies in domes 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowend Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I think that, by and large, the softer moments go to the pit while the horns do movement and the battery is off marching in the back. SCV had some great soft moments in their Les Mis show, however. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 I am finding this a very interesting read. That the environment of LOS (size, echo, largely tiered seating) determines dynamics seems logical. Instrumentation within the hornline has also shifted while at LOS (e.g., more tubas.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zachariaswmb Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Yes, Cadets. Also, Regiment during Claire de Lune. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fred Windish Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Crown has done some amazing things demonstrating brass mastery the past few years. They recieved a certain acclaim that said "Hey, they are the only corps that can do this, and do that." Not true, obviously. But now, I think we are seeing other corps do a predictable "Now Watch THIS!" display. I love it! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cube Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Forte is a dynamic. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xandandl Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Forte is a dynamic. I thought they were a small corps from Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N.E. Brigand Posted July 22, 2015 Share Posted July 22, 2015 Forte is a dynamic. It sure is, but the question was about dynamics, plural. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
