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.
Although one of Gossec’s most popular works, this playful melody from the Classical period may be best recognized from its use by arranger Carl Stalling in several Warner Brothers cartoons.
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.
