Triple Forte Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 Hi All, While surfing around on this cloudy weather day I stumbled on to this one. How bout we ditch some of the classical, symphonic and wind ensemble stuff (We can use a depature a bit...can't we?) and rip in to some really different styles and pacing of music with a style this... Beginning to 1:05 and then check out 2:06 onwards.... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-qV2EgzkgD0 By the way, Arturo S. is my all-time favorite trumpet player.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garfield Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 If it weren't so, um, repetitive. Maybe drum corps arrangers can change it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IllianaLancerContra Posted September 12, 2015 Share Posted September 12, 2015 If it weren't so, um, repetitive. Maybe drum corps arrangers can change it up. To be successful in DCI it needs power chords by the brass accompanied by chromatic runs in the pit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HornTeacher Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 (edited) To be successful in DCI it needs power chords by the brass accompanied by chromatic runs in the pit. For the love of God...don't forget the double and triple-tonguing, cross-handed playing, and a line of notes so solidly black that they actually form a dark streak, wafting across the field like a flock of diarrhetic doves of peace wafting across Lebanon with olive branches in their beaks. Oh...and the semi-squats resembling a baby with poopy drawers (is that the move that many refer to as "bug smashing"????). Oh...that isn't "musical." Which, by the way, is my point exactly. But...while I'm on here...yeah....something similar to Brady (not Tom...Jim...the one with the expansive sound, not deflated) and the Bridgemen screaming "Spanish Dreams" definitely wouldn't be met with disapproval...in this mind, at least. Ok...call me simple and perverse. But I know what turns me on...and what doesn't quite "do it" for me. Edit: Sorry...forgot...you said "new" music. My mistake. Never mind (tum-de-dum-de-dum.....)....

Ghost Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 By the way, Arturo S. is my all-time favorite trumpet player.... Nice stuff. My two favorite trumpet players are Rafael Mendez and Wynton Marsalis. Both are/were very flexible with various styles. Got to love the cigar while playing.

Kamarag Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 To be successful in DCI it needs power chords by the brass accompanied by chromatic runs in the pit. Yes, it's the most over-used cliche in all of drum corps, and the sooner it's eradicated, the better. So naturally, it scores well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
How_Will_It_End? Posted September 13, 2015 Share Posted September 13, 2015 I'm waiting for the day someone decides to to this as their ballad, but maybe it's a little too "bando"...not that there's anything wrong with that (Seinfeld reference) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a3R_sO91-iU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Triple Forte Posted September 13, 2015 Author Share Posted September 13, 2015 If it weren't so, um, repetitive. Maybe drum corps arrangers can change it up. I think the arrangers could pick out the right parts and make it drum corps friendly. Again, maybe not this exact piece of music but something in this genre or style with a different feel. Also, some would say that drum corps music is not repetive enough....which makes something memorable.... :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TRacer Posted September 14, 2015 Share Posted September 14, 2015 I'd like to hear a WC corps tackle the Moody Blues...for those that don't know, many of their tunes are quite lush in their arrangement. I don't think anyone but Crown could pull off "Nights in White Satin" complete with the "Breathe deep, the gathering gloom" spoken-word sonnet, massive crescendo and mega-gong crash at the end. For the younger DCP readers, the tune came out about two years after Quisp Cereal was introduced. The sound you're now hearing is a thousand fingers Googling "Moody Blues" and "Quisp".
