Duvone Stewart ask:

Off my head, I would say "RENEGADES" but I cant say which panorama tune it was, cause it seems like almost all his tunes have a latin or a MINOR part in it, that's JIT

[A.L.Nunes]

Exactly. Perhaps the question should have included ".....within decade 1, 2, 3, 4, 5....."

Duvone, no disrespect intended but i think the question should be which do we like or enjoyed most instead of which we think is best, these type of discussions only create those silly arguments that we constantly see up in here and it does nothing for the artform...having said that, i have enjoyed many works in the minor mode by our brilliant arrangers and the one that sticks out most for me is pan in a minor by Beverly for de radoes.

[Crab Calahloo]

Yep Bede,when it sweet, it sweet. Music is such an important ingredient in our lives but i think most people don't realise that and take it for granted....luckily music is not prejudice and stirs the blood of any or all of us.....when it sweet...haha.

thnx for pointing tht out Bede but I knew what he meant as it's something many arrangers tend to do, the name of the tune "pan in a minor" makes it obvious that it's minor, but i mentioned Beverly's work because he gave it the feel of a major making his emphasis on the minor outstanding.

Crab, I know when a tune is sweet, you feel it in your blood and you just can't help expressing  yourself. Thats what music is all about. .Mantovani had said  "music without feelings is only a noise", (you feel it, you feel it)

[BEDE LOPEZ]

Crab, No disrespect, but Duvone is talking bout a MAJOR tune that the arranger take and played a MINOR version, as an arrangement, PAN IN Am is already a MINOR tune.

Clive Bradley has a lock on this in my opinion. His 2004 arrangement Shadow's "Whap Cocoyea" is the most effective and moving minor mode I've heard.
