Sample Mp3 

Tranquill Porcupine is a Classical Waltz for steelband. NOTE*** there is no drumset or engine room for this piece as it is meant to highlight the tones and textures of the steelpans alone. The important thing to note pedagogically is that the Tenor and Double Seconds are always in support of eachother and the Basses and Triples make up the bass/chording components throughout. This is written in the style of a simple piano piece but split across the 4 voices of the band.

This piece is also available in the collection called "6 More Compositions for Early Steelband" CLICK HERE and in "The Early Steelband Jumpstart Pack" CLICK HERE   

Difficulty: Easy (great for junior high, high school & college steel bands)
