Lemon Law is a fun, upbeat tune roughly in sonata form. The ‘A’ section is swing-based, and contains the ‘head.’ It metrically modulates into the ‘B’ section, which is reggae-based. The ‘B’ section also contains a written-out tenor pan solo. With relatively little transition the piece enters what could be considered the development, combining elements of the piece at various pitch levels. After a fairly lengthy build-up, the A section returns with occasional alterations from what might be expected. Lemon Law was premiered in May 2011 by the Oklahoma City University Steel Drum Band.
One of Debussy’s more recognizable and crowd-pleasing pieces, this arrangement is a challenging piece to perform not for its technical requirements, but more for its expressive demands (dynamics and tempo) and the ability for the ensemble to listen to one another.
This series was commissioned specifically to provide quality steel band music for beginning steel bands. The six pieces in this collection represent a variety of styles, composers and difficulty and can serve as an entire semester’s repertoire.
