Ave Verum Corpus By W. A. Mozart Arr. by James Leyden Said to be Mozart's last composition before his untimely death at age 35, Ave Verum corpus is one of his shortest and yet most beautiful creations. The key to this beauty, when played on steel drums, lies in achieving a smooth, seamless musical line in all the parts. In so doing, you will be able to emulate a choral effect. This piece will do wonders in building the tremolo skills of your players. Product ID: 1116 |

Bailero French Folk Song, from the Songs Of The Auvergne Arr. by Marc Svaline In the Auvergne dialect, "bailero" is a shepherd's call. The Auvergne region itself is a high plateau of green, rolling hills; in summer a land of skylarks, butterflies and wild flowers. The 'sense of place' all comes through in the lilting strains of this beautiful folk song. The steel band accompaniment with its gentle echoing phrases puts the finishing touches on this unique musical landscape. Product ID: 1118 |

Finale Water Music Suite By George Frederick Handel Arr. by James Leyden Played by the tradtional symphony orchestra, the Finale is always impressive. But to our way of thinking, nothing can match the explosive sound of this Finale when played by a modern steel drum ensemble. You can count on a big audience response. And remember, the crash cymbals are an integral part of the action. This is majestic stuff. Product ID: 1120 |

Golliwogg's Cakewalk By Claude Debussy Arr. by James Leyden GOLLIWOGG: a male doll of ludicrous, bizarre appearance. CAKEWALK: formerly a promenade or walk in which those performing the most complex and unusual steps won cakes as prizes. The fanciful title qualifies this piece as "program music" in that it suggests the mood and style of the actions of this eccentric doll. To do justice to Debussy's delightful dancing Golliwogg, keep the playing lighthearted and only occasionally raucous. Product ID: 1121 |

The Humming Chorus From Madam Butterfly By G. Puccini Arr. by Emily Lemmerman In the opera at the end of Act 2, elegant singing gives way to off-stage choral humming underscored by soft pizzicato strings.

In contrast to high-energy calypsos and socas you can showcase the versatitlity of your players and the unique tonal capabilities of your instruments. As a special moment in its operatic setting, so the Humming Chorus, played on pans, can be a special moment in your next concert. Product ID: 1122 |

Praelude & Saraband from the By Edvard Grieg Arr. by James Leyden Among the works of the great composers which lend themselves to steel drum transcription and performance are those of Edvard Grieg. From a group of shorter pieces composed in the years following the completion of his piano concerto, we have chosen the Praelude and Saraband from the Holberg Suite. The suite is originally scored for strings, but we have found these two sections of the suite to be equally beautiful and exciting in their steel drum setting. Product ID: 1126 |

Sarabande & 2-Part Invention Music by Johann Sebastian Bach Arr. by J. Leyden Bach's Sarabande is gentle, unhurried with subtle harmonic changes, this Sarabande is basic Bach. It is a pan-perfect introduction to great music of the Baroque period. 2-Part Invention is a marvelous program piece, a gem from the amazing musical treasure chest created by this one man, this genius. His soaring melodies and his manipulation of short musical phrases by inversions, by modulation and sequential repetition offer a unique opportunity for your players to understand Bach's concept of musical form. The individual musical lines move freely but always seem to fit together perfectly. It has been said that to fully appreciate the music of Bach, one must play it. So, we say "pass out the parts" and have a wonderful musical experience. The arrangements of the Bach Sarabande and 2-Part Invention are available as a package only. Product ID: 1128 |
