johnpendell Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 (edited) A la Blue Knights this year, I think Crown could totally use some, different, Rouse-like atonal, psycho music. Such difficult music that obviously Crown could pull off. Maybe like some of these. Opener - Avner Dorman's Ellef Symphony http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lE3hzYUxFAE , Mvt 2 - Lutoslawski's Fanfare for the LA Phil http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxPfxCfBy9g , ballad - Colegrass' Winds of Nagual Mvt. 2 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q8Nr1i7EGhc , Mvt 3 - Steve Reich's The Desert Music Mvt. 5 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nvFnR6cqxn4&list=PLkqUzfbYHJ0YFkg3lKIpBeIdpORSbdxS9&index=7 , Closer (because crown loves a nice happy ending) - Fanfare for La Peri by Dukas http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urrELlsnqqc . That's my dream show music selection. Now to find a theme that could correlate. Dissonance and confusion meets clarity and understanding? sounds pretty 2010's drum corps show if you ask me Edited August 17, 2016 by johnpendell 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnpendell Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 If we're discussing Philip Sparke, I've always been partial to Music of the Spheres, especially after the 9:30 or so mark. And bonus for the most conductor-y looking conductor ever. yaaaasss at all of this. Crown should do all 18 minutes of it and be the first almost 20 minute drum corps show LOL I'd watch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 would love crown to do something with a "royalty" theme, and build it around this gorgeously harmonic piece of music. every note is a chord. this ensemble isn't the most technically proficient, but the conductor did a marvelous job with it, especially the interpretation of the end: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could see a lot of possibilities with the "Le Roi-Soleil" In fact so much material, it might be hard to condense it down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eleran Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 They could re-purpose that stagecoach and do a Ben-Hur show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like maybe multi-cultural. The idea of a Sun King is pretty cool, though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKSuperman Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 I could see them pulling something off like Homestead 2012(?) Children of the Sun. That show was amazing! I would love to see Crown tackle something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKSuperman Posted August 17, 2016 Share Posted August 17, 2016 Something else I just thought of! I could definitely see them doing the How to Train your Dragon soundtrack for a Viking show! I think that could be INCREDIBLE! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
