dtxtrmpt Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 What pieces of music do you listen to when your listening to music. Orchestral things, not rock and other things like that. Some of my favorite pieces are Appalachian Spring, Copland. Roman Trilogy, Ottorino Respighi. I also like to listen to drum corps shows. One of my favorites- 2003 Phantom Regiment. Once again, Just Curious. Quote
TRtrumpet Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 I love alot of different drum corps shows. I also like to listen to old BOA shows mostly from Reagan and Bell. I'm listening to "Finaly From symphony No. 4 in F Minor" right now though. Quote
Danpod Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Believe it or not, I listen to soft rock and light jazz when I'm at home. I like to relax after classes and the soft music helps me study. When I'm in the car, it's a whole different story. If you are in the city of San Antonio and you hear the latest Drum Corps shows off in the distance, chances are that they are being blasted from my car! Quote
acsc1312 Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Mine is mostly band shows. Paticularly Bell 06, 05, and Reagan 03,04,05. I listen to it on the way to school to sooth me before the rough days haha Quote
dtxtrmpt Posted October 26, 2007 Author Posted October 26, 2007 Any time I get in my car I listen to this years show. no matter how long the drive, Itll be on repeat! Quote
mbui Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Short trips around the city or to school, I listen to morning talk (and sports) shows and some of the radio stations here in the Houston area----94.5 The Buzz, 104.1 KRBE & 97.5 ESPN The Ticket. Long trips, it's usually marching band or drum corps. I hate pressing the seek button on the radio when trying to find a station in another city. At home on my laptop, 98% of the time it's once again either marching band or drum corps. I don't have anything else on my computer because I have a bunch of CD's anyways. Checking my computer, the top 10 tracks played on my computer are.... L.D. Bell HS 2006 (The Remaining) - 597 times Ronald Reagan HS 2005 (You Never Know....) - 268 times Imogen Heap's "Hide and Seek" - 264 times The Woodlands HS 2006 (Hide and Seek) - 239 times L.D. Bell HS 2005 (Ascension: Light of Gold) - 237 times Santa Clara Vanguard 2007 (! - Eureka) - 170 times Broken Arrow HS 2006 (Aqua) - 154 times Ronald Reagan HS 2006 (Transitions) - 91 times Carolina Crown 2007 (Triple Crown) - 72 times James Bowie HS 2006 (A Little Night Musik) & Plymouth Canton EP, Michigan (The Passion Within) - 63 times Sheesh, that's a lot of music (and that's just the top 10). Then again...music rocks. Quote
Danpod Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Oh yeah.... When getting ready for class in the morning, I love to listen to The Howard Stern Show. Quote
itsstephenyo Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 I've been listening to a lot of Tchaikovsky, lately. Mainly his fourth symphony, which is utter bad@$$. Seriously, it surprises me no corp or band has marched this piece yet. It SCREAMS drum corp at a few sections, especially when the trumpets take over the melody. Awesome piece. Other stuff, I've been listening to... David Maslanka's "A Child's Garden of Dreams" and the soundtrack from Shackleton's Antarctic Adventure. That's another soundtrack that's begging to be marched. Hit me up and I'll let you listen. This piece screams "Company front!!!" Quote
takigan Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 Eric Whitacre......his band stuff, his choir stuff, and his 3 Paradise Lost preview tracks (which I had to use some rather underhanded methods to obtain in mp3 form).....I also listen to a lot of modern piano music and Electronica, along with your typical BOA band or Drum Corps. Quote
Xenon Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 When driving to work and back, I listen to talk radio (politics) most of the time. Long trips tend to be Marching Band / Drum Corps CDs, and sometimes (depending on the available radio stations) stuff from the '50s-'80s. At home it is almost exclusively great instrumental stuff (tending towards 1850+). For example (stuff I had queued recently): - Symphony #9 (From the New World) - Dvorak - All of Holst's stuff (not just The Planets) - Concerto for Orchestra - Bartok - Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta - Bartok - Pines of Rome and Fountains fo Rome - Respighi - Mathis der Maler - Hindemith - Symphonic Metamorphosis - Hindemith - Various Rachmaninoff piano works (especially Concerto #2 in C Minor) Quote

All of his stuff is completely amazing, October probably being my favorite lyrical piece by him (I'm a euphonium player, and the solo is orgasmic), but Godzilla Eats Las Vegas is my favorite Whitacre piece. Ticheli's stuff is awesome, too, my favorite by him is his the 3rd movement of his 2nd symphony, Apollo Unleashed. Also, pretty much all drum corps stuff. Quote
Donezo Posted October 26, 2007 Posted October 26, 2007 My music taste is pretty eclectic, but I've been on an impressionist kick lately. I'm kind of obsessed with Ravel right now. Daphnis et Chloe = brilliance. Quote

Oh man, I can't wait for the Paradise Lost CD to come out with all of the music. One of my favorite parts in the opera is the "Bliss" theme. It's such an emotional moment. And, the bliss theme was also used in the symphonic version of Whitacre's "Lux Aurumque." I HOPE the Paradise Lost tour comes to Texas one day. Quote

I love this piece. It sounds like something exciting that Coppell would march. Quote
whitewing09 Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 lets seee Summer Dances Bell 06(love the opening statement) Reagan 06 (love the ballad and the last hit) THE Woodlands 06 (the ballad ish part) Cedar park 05 (i really want 06) Churchill 06 (LOVE the trumpet solos for some reason) Quote

I never thought about Coppell. I always thought that Phantom Regiment or SCV would do really well marching the first movement of the piece and maybe a bit of the fourth. It's just too cool not to. But yea, it's definitely a good fit for Coppell. Another good, good piece is David Maslanka's fourth symphony (what's up with me and fourth symphonies?!?!) I used to love listening to it while I sat there doing Calculus homework. For some reason, a few of my friends did, too, but also only with Calculus. Weird. Quote
Donezo Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Am I crazy or has Coppell already marched to Tchaikovsky's 4th? They've done something Tchaikovsky before, but I can't remember exactly what it was...... Quote

Though I doubt it'll be as good as Chicago Symphony, I'd still like to hear a marching band rendition of it. Quote
Serardian Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 According to our very own TxBands directory, Coppell marched Tchaikovsky's 4th in their 2003 show. I'm dying to hear it! Quote

Donezo Posted October 27, 2007 Posted October 27, 2007 Yes! That's right! I saw them at the North Texas Marching Contest. If I remember correctly, they were pretty doggone good that year. Unfortunately I have no recording. Quote
chickora Posted October 28, 2007 Posted October 28, 2007 I love Frank Tichelli. Tichellisms are the best. Quote
