Pan Funk starts out with a couple rounds of the back line laying down the groove of the tune. Next, the funky front line melody enters at the verse before segueing into the chorus, culminating in a full unison jam. There is a fun front line solo in the middle of the tune that ranges from very easy to very challenging, and finally breaks way back to the chorus with a chromatic flair. The solo section can also be easily stretched out for as long as you like to showcase your soloists in the band. This is an entertaining, medium tempo tune your band will have a blast playing and performing. Feel free to make this one your own. It’s been played laid back, heavy, and even in a reggae style. It’s all good!
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.
This is a fun, high-energy calypso that will have the audience up on their
feet! I composed “Carpe Diem” during the time I had the Sons Of Steel
steel band. It was written with performance in mind with lots of room for
cool choreography, which the “Sons” were known for during our live
concerts.
