“Pan For Ya!” was written with me thinking of playing in Trinidad’s Panorama competition. I wanted to write a piece to give people who have never experienced Panorama a small taste (tease if you will) of what they are missing. I wanted to keep it short and sweet but still have the excitement of a tune played in the world’s greatest steel band competition. The tune starts out with a short but powerful intro that leads right into the hook of the tune. The verse turns the beat backwards to change and funk up the feel to contrast the smooth and driving rhythm of the chorus. The second verse changes the voicing where the seconds take over the melody and the tenors go into solo passages that weave in and out of the melody. This leads back into the hook again that then gives way to a classic Panorama breakdown heavy on percussion with a simple but powerful melody that ends in a Panoramic type chromatic run that leads you back into the chorus. Then a varied intro that gives way to the big ending that gives the tune a nice explanation point!
The holiday standard “Jingle Bells” is given fresh new life with this interpretation in 7. There’s nothing “odd” about this meter, though. All the parts fit together in a fun, but not too challenging way.
