    Amateurs; in music we’ve been alerady using cannons since 1880: Tchaikovsky - 1812 Overture

      While it does not invoke cannons (which will be outside whenever this piece is being performed), there is a piece where a percussionist whacks a piece of wood with a super-sized mallet. Imagine a barrel on a stick…

        Mahler. Everything insane is typically Mahler. I think that particular symphony also has a bag full of sticks that is dropped.

          mahler’s instrumentation is consistently massive but usually has normal instruments. i think only the sixth is particularly strange with the hammer, and the next weirdest symphony might be the seventh with its mandolin, guitar, cowbells, etc. his fourth could also be considered weird since it’s scored for an unusually small orchestra, especially for a mahler symphony. pretty sure he never used a bag of sticks, but yeah mahler can still be crazy. only really rivaled by strauss imo. strauss’s Alpine Symphony is probably the most insane thing i’ve ever seen performed, for me beating mahler 2 and 3 (though i still like them more overall)

            Fair enough. I should have said ‘everything insane that I remember is Mahler.’ I would swear I remember a bag of sticks in something I was performing in though.

        Oh no, the more dramatic orchestras will use cannon indoors too. I was at a rather excellent concert some years ago, thoroughly enjoying the music and very much ‘in the moment’ as you might say, when I discovered this fact. I was seated up in the gods, and one of the cannons was, it turns out, on a gallery almost directly above me. They pretty much had to scrape me off the ceiling when that thing went off, and I don’t think my heart rate came down until I got a stiff drink in the intermission.

    When the classic MIDI track you want to perform uses instrument #128

    Still, easier than coordinating the helicopter to fly over at the right time.
