Would arrangements include "layering" ? Sometimes, to my untrained ears, layering makes it difficult to hear the song's melody. Layering is generally a term used to describe the visual layers of a show. Often in the early part of the season a corps may have a basic sketch on the field. That can include music, too, but in general the term "layer" refers to how the visual program (guard, drill, body and dance, staging, design concepts and colors, etc.) adds elements in order to further define the show's theme, concept, or story. When it comes to music specifically we use three general terms: composition, arrangement, and orchestration. There are others, but in short a composer is the person who originally wrote the song or theme. That person may also have orchestrated the work or they may have hired someone to orchestrate for a specific ensemble. This is common in Broadway or TV and Film work. An arrangement is a re-ordering of the song's elements. This can include extending or abbreviating sections of the work, adding transitions or a tag, and even cutting things out of the original song or theme in order to fit time criteria. This may also include changing the style of the original work (a jazzy version of the Rite of Spring for instance). Most of the time in drum and bugle corps what we hear are arrangements that have to be re-orchestrated for brass, field percussion, and pit. The arrangement is essentially taking the material that you wish to use from the original work, ordering it as you wish, deciding on style, and usually condensing the time to make it work for your show. Key signature, chords, solos, intros, tags, and other elements are a part of this process. The orchestration of that arrangement is where the writer determines what instruments play and when, how chords are voiced within the sections, and the use of other writing techniques in order to achieve the colors and moods that are desired.

Definitely making up for the years of ridiculousness that happened. I guess their show title is apropos. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craiga Posted May 3, 2022 Share Posted May 3, 2022 Cadets' future with Ron Lambert at the helm is bright. There is now an adult in charge, as evidenced by the success of 2021. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
