btown50 Posted May 25, 2022 Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) Show announcement is here https://bluedevils.org/programs/a-corps/seasons/ “Blue has no dimensions, it is beyond dimensions.” – Yves Klein It may seem surprising, but the color blue is a relatively modern invention. The only ancient culture that had a word for it was the Ancient Egyptians, and yet the color BLUE has flourished in a multitude of incarnations reaching far beyond the discovery of Lapis Lazuli. Dancing on the historical timeline of this mysterious and dynamic color, the 2022 Blue Devils celebrate their 65th Anniversary with TEMPUS BLUE. Lapis lazuli, the Renaissance, Titian, Novalis’s Blue Flower, Picasso, and Yves Klein emerge from the timeline in a collage of music and motion. A universal perspective provides a musical palette of influence and style. A contemporary, modern approach allows TEMPUS BLUE to reflect this emotional, miraculous hue with innovation and vision. Starting with the rise of civilization around 4500 B.C. and continuing to this day, people have found creative ways to produce colors for artistic expression. This summer 165 extraordinary performers travel the United States as The Blue Devils bring TEMPUS BLUE to Drum Corps International’s 50th Anniversary celebration of excitement and excellence. “A certain blue enters your soul.” – Henri Matisse LAPIS LAZULI – Original Composition by Dave Glyde DIVINE BLUE – Original Composition by Dave Glyde CARNIVAL OF VENICE (Titian) – Niccolo Paganini MOON RIVER (Blue Flower) – Henry Mancini (Arr. By Jacob Collier) HANDS AND FEET (Picasso) – Michel Camilo SILK SONIC INTRO (Yves Klein) – Bruno Mars TANK! (Yves Klein) – Yoko Kanno HOME OF THE BRAVE (Blue Earth) – Thomas Bergerse “Preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we’ve ever known.” – Carl Sagan Edited May 25, 2022 by btown50 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
