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 lively refrain and variations from the French Baroque master gives the intermediate to advanced soloist a chance to show off the agility required of runs, turns and ornamental figures at a rapid pace.
