boilerman_05 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Just wondering what pieces everyone would like to hear a corps do. The only requirement is that it can never have been done by a corps before. Search Corpsreps.com if you are unsure. You can spesify entire shows or just one piece. Anything goes, so long as none of the pieces have ever been done before. I personally would like to hear: Symphony #3 by Penderecki Akhnaten by Philip Glass (would require narration though) In Evening's Stillness... by Joseph Scwhantner (it would make a great eire balid) Nocturne #2 in Eb Major by Chopin (Phantom, I'm looking your way for this one) Allegro Barbaro by Bella Bartok (another perfect one for Phantom) Symphony #4 by David Maslanka Original music by Boilerman_05 ^0^ A show using pieces from John Williams "An American Journy" album: Celebrate Discovery by John Williams The Country at War by John Williams (Drum solo) Song for World Peace by John Williams (Balid) For New York (Variations on Themes of Leonard Bernstein) by John Williams No theme or political message intended. Just great music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jacquesb Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 "On a Magic Carpet Ride", by Billy Cobham (from his Magic album) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 (edited) Prayer of St. Gregory--Hovhaness Any of Barber's "Essays for Orchestra." (Phoenix Regiment did these, but no div I corps yet.) Soundtrack from Krull--James Horner Anything from Mahler 1,2, or 5 Symphony #3--Robert Jager Scenes from the Louvre--Dello Joio (Vanguard Cadets did this, but I'd also love to hear a Div I corps tackle it...SCV, SCV!) "Requiem Aeternam" from John Rutter's Requiem Edited July 15, 2005 by KingMargeret Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smj02 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 (edited) Will add more as they come to mind...off the top of my head: Hang Gliding, Maria Schneider (Metheny-esque, great piece of "symphonic jazz", for lack of a better term) Dance You Monster to My Soft Song, Maria Schneider Trumpet Concerto, Arutunian 75 Seasons Suite, NFL Films (melodic, stylistic changes, great for a DII/III corps) Dos a Dos, Karl Jenkins (right up Troopers' alley) Tam O'Shanter Overture, Malcolm Arnold (Pioneer, why have you never played this?) Royal Fireworks Music, Handel Vienna Philharmonic Fanfare, R. Strauss Feierlicher Einzug, R. Strauss Beulah Witch, Don Menza Variations for Trumpet, Don Ellis The Tihai, Don Ellis I'd also love to see BD do a concept show themed on improvisation...featuring improvised solos that can add a chorus or two if the soloist is on fire...and other improvisational features, musically and visually...a different show each night...now that would be one for the ages! Also, I second "Prayer of St. Gregory" - gorgeous! Edited July 15, 2005 by smj02 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boilerman_05 Posted July 15, 2005 Author Share Posted July 15, 2005 Just thought of a couple more. Sands Theme by Tonto's Giant Nuts (From the Once Upon a Time in Mexico Soundtrack) and "Coup de Etat" and "The Man With No Eyes" by Robert Rodriguez (also from the OUTM Soundtrack) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
festive Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 (edited) My first thought was Falla- El Sombrero de Tres Picos...but Allegiance Elite did it. Some big corps should do it. Like Madison... OK, I thought of one...Polonaise No. 6 by Chopin. I'd love to hear Regiment play "Bydlo" from Pix @ an Exhibition. How about something by Ralph Vaughan Williams?

gumby5647 Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Galactic Empires by Holsinger. Mixed with a little bit 'o Planets and Stargate music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShortAndFast Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 (edited) I sing in a new/recent music choir, and I often come across choral works that I think would work for a drum corps show. I loved SCV 2000, and I keep hoping that other top corps will try similar programs. Here are some ones that I wish I'd get to see on the field someday: Samuel Barber Twelfth night Giles Swayne Magnificat Frank Martin Mass for Double Choir, especially the Kyrie and Sanctus Jaakko Mäntyjärvi Canticum calamitatis maritimæ or Psalm 150 in Kent Bob Treble Minor Edited July 15, 2005 by ShortAndFast Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted July 15, 2005 Share Posted July 15, 2005 Galactic Empires by Holsinger. Mixed with a little bit 'o Planets and Stargate music. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> I think I've heard traces of Galactic Empries in a few Cavaliers shows from the 90s and a bit in '00 too. But, they never listed it. Same thing with the McTee stuff they throw in. Speaking of which, any of McTee's Soundings would be awesome to hear. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
