Another highly popular chart of Tracy’s, In the Groove of Things is a progressive, upbeat, and flashy tune that takes steel pan into uncharted territory.
Featuring every section of the steel band, In the Groove of Things has (as the title suggests) a deep, rockin’ groove with most of the song built on flashy riffs in the C blues scale. The lead parts go from sweet and groovy to downright rocking and challenging. Each section of the band has a featured voice and there is a lot of space to fit in your own choreography if your band likes to incorperate visual flair. Your kids will love this chart!
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 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.
Named for the village home of a beautiful active sulfur spring and volcano in St. Lucia, Soufrière (pronounced soo- free-ay) is a haunting tune that combines a Folk aesthetic with Jazz harmonies and the Zouk rhythm of Guadeloupe.
