jthomas666 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I changed the station to NPR on the way back from lunch, and came in right in the middle of Tchaikovsky's Serenade for Strings. It wasn't long before I started to hear Phantom's 1983 opener in my head. And then I started wondering what Phantom could to with that these days, with the different rules and instrumentation. And then I went to my happy place. So, instead of talking about what classics have been run into the ground, what classics are primed to make a triumphant return? I think Maynerd Ferguson is long overdue, for one thing. Other possibilities: Adventures in Time Pegasus (though you'd be hard pressed to top BD 82) Crown Imperial Several Chuck Mangione songs Variations on a Korean Folk Song Peer Gynt . . . well, you get the idea.

Lance Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Belshazzar's Feast. As much as I love Star 90, I would also love to see some other corps tackle this. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lance Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Just to be the anti-Hrothgar, I'll throw out this one. I'd like to see another corps do the Barber Piano Concerto that BK did this past season. But with vocals added. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjs4484 Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 I would love to see/hear SCV do Phantom of the Opera again. With modern hornlines and the complexity of modern percussion books... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ravedodger Posted March 8, 2007 Share Posted March 8, 2007 Appalachian SpringMalagueña West Side Story Nice that you jumped in with these before someone jumped in with "I don't want to hear another Malaguena, Appalachian Spring, or West Side Story". I bet it's still going to be posted, though I agree with you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
