wrband Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Heroes Lost and Fallen By Gillingham(OMG) Nixon in China By John Adams(more adams on the field) Water Night by Eric Whitacre(Phantom, maybe) Some of the earlier Cirque stuff by Rene Dupere I can't remember who wrote this but Wind Symphony premiered a piece for the composers conference called "Jacob's Ladder" and it was AMAZING and very hard too. It had a great trumpet solo in it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Galen Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 1.) I want BD to play a Cowboy Bebop show - this could be awesome I always thought "Tank" (Bebop opening theme) would be a killer piece to do for a corps. I'd love to hear BD go off with it. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Tank has been on Chuck Naffier's "Most Wanted" list for years; Blue Stars did play it last year and did a good job with it.

smj02 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 "In evening's stillness..." is one of those pieces where you don't know how hard it is until you take a look at the score and try to conduct/perform it.... I have a feeling we won't be seeing this one tackled on a drum corps field anytime soon. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Agreed. Sounds great in the concert hall when performed well, and a great piece of music for those who appreciate it, but not easily adaptable to the field. Another of those...Husa's Music for Prague 1968.

wrband Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Was performed by Cavaliers in '93. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Now I remember that I already knew that. Thanks for reminding me, still an awesome piece. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShutUpAndPlayYerGuitar Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 There needs to be a Frank Zappa show. I know BD's drum solo in 86 was a Zappa work, but I think a lot of his stuff (ok, half of his stuff. This is the same guy that wrote a song in 17/5 meter) could translate on to the field as an entire show. I think this is something the Cadets could definately do.

gumby5647 Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Galactic Empires is by David Gillingham. <{POST_SNAPBACK}> D'Oh!!! Thanks for correcting me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BMBob Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Any of Barber's "Essays for Orchestra." (Phoenix Regiment did these, but no div I corps yet.) Actually, the Zeus portion of Crown's 2002 show was arranged from the 2nd Essay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has always maintained that he would love to hear Zappa's Peaches in Regalia performed by a drum corps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lance Posted July 16, 2005 Share Posted July 16, 2005 Oh, cool! They would be one of my prime choices to bring it back for an all Barber show. Probably won't ever happen with any corps, but I can hope. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
