A moderate tempo classic 1930’s era Calypso from Atilla the Hun (Raymond Quevado), but arranged in a modern style for steel band. Interesting twists and turns in the melody; fun counter lines for the Cellos in the “Trio” section, and a driving “Two-Drop” feel for the bass and drums make this a great addition for your band. Short but powerful.
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.
