General Description of This Show
Imagine your in the red hot desert, in a far off, middle eastern land. Your senses begin play tricks on you. Everything is a blurred and seems to be an Illusion. That is the visual imagery of this show! With a middle eastern flair, Mirage is a proven crowd and judge favorite. Visually think about things that appear and reappear. Create as many visual tricks to the eyes as possible. Movement 1 starts with a pre-show with a hip groove, then has a mysterious solo for wind controller or any other instrument (most amplified solos in the show should use lots of effects to create a mysterious sound). Then the drumline takes off and the whole band gets into the Slammin! A grooving 7/4 section that features the sax section and then later the entire woodwind section is finished buy an exciting hit. Then a new lyrical section featuring several soloists (several options here) then wraps up with an exciting end. Movement 2 "Uninvited" (Alanis Morrisette), featured an eerie flute and a trumpet (Harmon Mute). This was very effective. Copyright clearance is required for this movement. Not included in price. Movement 3 There are several drafts of this movement. The version posted is the longest version I have. This movement starts with a mysterious beginning, a happy tutti section (we cut this in the final draft), and followed by percussion focus . The final movement cranks up the tempo and wraps-up with a Middle Eastern techno groove. | |
