Makes it easily on my list of favorite trumpet features so far with just blue devils 2017, and now bluecoats (edit:) 2019. Any recommendations for others to listen to?
This is in the wrong key, it’s written here as Eb major with a million accidentals, it would be much more accurately written in D# minor (6#). That way you wouldn’t have accidentals in every bar, and the chords would be correctly notated. CbEAb is not a real chord, that’s BEG# which is an Em chord. Edit: E major, not E minor idek how I blessed that up
@@ikurasake If you write this as Eb minor, the chord spellings are all wrong. The penultimate chord would be spelled CbEAb which is not a correct chord spelling. I think irl the members were probably handed sheets with 6 flats, because it is all brass instruments, but the theoretically correct key is 6 sharps so the chords are spelled correctly. Either way, 3 flats is definetly incorrect
@@ikurasake that’s true, that’s a mistake on my part. But personally I really don’t like treating Fb as a root note, it just looks messy and is unnecessarily confusing, especially without courtesy accidentals. It’s an E major chord, the whole thing just makes way more sense in D#. Really this is just not a very good transcription, and I don’t feel like re making it to read the two correctly notated versions in Eb and D# side by side to compare. You could put it in either, but I think that if I got this in Eb I’d have to write in accidentals where in D# I wouldn’t.
I'm so glad Mandarins are getting some respect. They have always been really good and fun to watch. Very hard working corps and I hope they continue to climb the ranks.
I think the whole thing is in the wrong key, it should be D# minor. The last 2 Chords are BEG# (Em) and EBE (E5). There shouldn’t be any flats in the whole thing.
