This beautiful melody by Harold Arlen will be familiar to many in your audience, and thus a crowd-pleaser. The famous tune from “The Wizard of Oz” has been treated in bomb style, meaning that it has been “calypsoized” through the application of stylistic calypso rhythms and grooves. After a brief introduction, the tune is presented, followed by a fairly challenging variation for lead and double tenor pans over the first two A sections. A fadeout ending suggests actually going “over the rainbow” to the place where dreams really do come true.
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.
