Brass & percussion in an arc playing the new closer arrangement standstill It's an extended version of the closer - it's not too much different even though it does "build" longer and resolve longer picks up tempo slighly as it proceeds but no "run and gun" 2:15 seconds long now starts with same solos with pit voices add in then the brass & percussion tempo and dynamics have longer to build the end choral sounding parts for the brass are quite nice 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't pay attention in the offseason and keep seeing references to it. The specifics were not revealed to the public, but here are some generics. After five months of meetings with the Bernstein office at Lincoln Center, permission to perform, arrange, and broadcast were given. However, slicing and dicing the music is not allowed. arrangements had to be approved by the office, and the spirit and integrity of the composer's original had to be maintained. Now obviously, Mass is a multi hour piece and the corps only presents 11 minutes or so of it. And there is some additional music from Drew, Tom, and Omar to bridge transitions. These had to be okayed in NY. (Long story short version.) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Long story short version.) part of the agreement is concerts in 2018 and possibly 2019 with the NY Philharmonic plus the corps will be carrying a "Berstein library" of products along on tour to offer for sale at the souvie truck Cadets are officially aligned with the 100th birthday celebration approaching 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not some jarring "run and gun" that probably woudn't fit the rest of the program - similarly to what was there but much more time to develop fully and conclude the program 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not so abrupt which I think was the problem. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
