JeffBanyots Posted November 9, 2006 Share Posted November 9, 2006 From the Pioneer website, News From The Top dated Tuesday, November 17th...The results of this design meeting produced the following 2007 Pioneer Production: " THE FIELDS OF GREEN" 1) Gustav Holtz Suite...A solid brass introduction that drives in a march tempo that has an overlay of Kerry Dancers and Greensleeves. 2) Rakes of Mallow....an upbeat, fast paced and undoubtedly Irish folk tune. 3) Dark Tide / Washer Woman...from the movie, "The Gangs of New York" and a traditional Irish melody, "The Irish Washer Woman." It will be arranged with sort of a Cuban, African percussion feel to counter the Washer Woman melody. This original arrangement is designed to stir the imagination of the audience. 4) Minstrel Boy....written in a symphonic style has a flowing melody, full of emotion in which one can imagine the full Guard with a flag display that radiates nothing less than warm feelings of contemplation. 5) Variations on Gary Owen...Imagine the symphonic flow of the previous piece into Gary Owen building into a crescendo of accelerated tempo and instrumental dynamics that (you guessed it!) will cause a spontaneous response of the audience to leap to a standing ovation with joy and applause! 6) A return to the Holtz Suite gives the impression that the show is ending. However, we return to the driving pace of the march in the opener that is similar to a reprise in a Broadway musical with a driving, upbeat no holds barred turbo-type ending that will leave the crowd remembering Pioneer as they leave the stands humming some melody all of the way home! A quick question. Were the misspellings of Holst's name included verbatim on Pioneer's website? I cannot seem to find the info on their site.
