stacysquire Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 (edited) The Rochester Crusaders Drum and Bugle corps are proud to present their 60th anniversary show "Russian Rhapsody: an exhilarating expression of emotion and enthusiasm". This year's show selections include Russian Easter Overture by Nikolai Rimsky Kosakov; Romance and Troika from Lieutenant Kiev Suite by Sergei Prokofiev; Hut of Babayaga and Great Gate of Kiev from Pictures at an exhibition by Modest Mussorgsky. This edition of the Rochester Crusaders is sure to be a memorable one as we bring the mystique and power of Russian compostions to the drum corps field. Come join us on our " quest " this year and experience the new Crusaders. Information can be found at our website @ www.rochestercrusaders.org. Anyone interested in joining the "Crusade" should contact Brian Wilt at brianwilt@rochestercrusaders.org Edited November 27, 2006 by stacysquire Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorpsBuff Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 Make sure the corps reflects the pronunciation change to Kiev that just occurred not too long ago :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacysquire Posted November 27, 2006 Author Share Posted November 27, 2006 Thanks Adam... I did in fact switch it to keep up with consistancy. But hey I can only put it up the way I get it told to me right. I can barely pronounce these names much less spell them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kusankusho Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 I agree 100% with you Joe. and keep up the hard work you guys are putting in. It will pay off! I knew the other pieces but couldn't remember Troika and Romance from Lt. Kije. I found some clips and recognized Troika right away. Romance is the melody used by Sting in his song "I hope the Russians love their children too". That's a really haunting piece of music and will make an incredible ballad.

ech2os Posted November 28, 2006 Share Posted November 28, 2006 Romance is the melody used by Sting in his song "I hope the Russians love their children too". That's a really haunting piece of music and will make an incredible ballad. Really. That should be interesting. I tried to get friends of mine to listen to that song when everybody was listening to If You Love Somebody Set Them Free........but being that I was in 8th grade in 1985 it wasn't a big hit with the 13 year olds :) Great song.
