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 Yes seen it... Love the Title. I'm always inlove with BD creative show titles. So cool, so artistic and so creative.

theonlyfizzle Posted May 25, 2022 Author Share Posted May 25, 2022 (edited) I've got to say after listening to all the reps for this show except the "original compositions" by David Glyde. I Looooooooove it! It's very classic refreshing, and modern contemporary. I like the mix of music, gives off a specific vibes, that is truly unique and special. I heard Classic BD, meeting Current BD. It feels like a travel back in time and coming into now, and i like that, i could hear certain era's of Blue Devils. This is going to be a real musical treat for a variety of people, if not, maybe for everyone. I Have good feeling this show is going to be a hit.

(Yves Klein) – Yoko Kanno HOME OF THE BRAVE (Blue Earth) – Thomas Bergerse I am super excited to see what they do with this music and the overall show theme. Tempus Blue, at least on paper, seems like an amazing show with so much possibility for exploration of color and sound. I envision a large palette of different blue coloration and the music charts seem to represent a wide palette of colors and styles from a musical perspective. I will have to listen to all the music with the exception of the Dave Glyde stuff. But wow...Carnival of Venice should give the brass and drums some serious technique to dig into. Moon River is such a classy Mancini work and I am excited to see how they bring this to life. And Bruno Mars...very nice! The great thing about this show theme is they are not trapped into a certain style and the ideal of the theme leaves room for interpretation and growth. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
