"Calypso On The Beach" by Nathaniel O'Neal

List Price: $37.00
Price: $32.00

Difficulty: Easy (great for elementary school steel bands)

"Calypso On The Beach" is my musical thoughts when I visited the beach in Scarborough, Tobago. Calypso is a slower style of music that came before soca music in Trinidad & Tobago. The key to this piece is not to push the tempo. At letter C, there is a two-measure build-up into letter D. Be sure you drop all the way to the piano before the crescendo starts. The double seconds and triple guitars have a simplified calypso strumming pattern. The tenors and jumbie jams have the melody that should blend in with all of the other pan voices.

Bonus: A backing track, which includes drum set and pan parts, minus the melody is included if you only have Jumbie Jams.
