MUSIC 3613 - Cornell Steel Band

(crosslisted)
(also LATA 3613 )
Fall. 0-1 credit, variable.

Prerequisite: audition with instructor.

M. Compitello.

The Cornell Steel Band perform traditional music from Trinidad for steel pans, including calypso and soca, as well as repertoire expanding the boundaries of the instruments. The group includes the standard steel pan orchestra, as well as an “engine room” consisting of drumset, congas, irons (brake drums), and other percussion instruments. One or more sections will form, dependent on demand and ability. The groups rehearse weekly, and perform as ready throughout the semester. Prior musical experience is necessary, though not limited to percussion, and participants must audition.
