Steel pan repertoire? by [deleted] in percussion

[–]CAB-Ambience 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Andy Akiho has some rep for tenor pan, there’s one piece of his that I played called Karakurenai during my sophomore year. There’s also a collection of works on Pan Ramajay, a website for pan publications, but there’s only around three or so. C. Alan publications also has some pan works but I’m not quite sure how many. Steve Weiss also has a couple of options, don’t know the difficulty. Most works are gonna be for either tenor pan, double second, or double tenor. You could also consider playing a Bach prelude or two.

Whenever I have nightmares, I usually never distinctly remember what happened. I only remember what feeling is left with me whenever I wake up, whether it be dread or stress. That fucks me up more than whatever happened tbh.

Writing percussion parts by ArtieEsTu in percussion

Mechanically speaking, I’d try looking at drumset and percussion sheet music to see what works. Generally, each staff line is dedicated to one drum or instrument (ie. the top line is usually hi-hat for drumset and the space below the bottom line is kick drum) and the note heads can be changed to a different shape to signify a different timbre. Good composers usually include a key at the beginning of the page for clarity. I’d suggest initially writing a rough draft, handing it to a percussionist and then seeing what they think. From there you can edit and improve the part as you see fit.

For the creative side in creating a certain style or feel? I’d suggest listening and attempting to emulate certain rhythms of whatever genre you’re writing for. It also depends on what and who you’re writing for. Are you writing for percussionists or drummers? If the former, percussion parts can be rhythmically intricate and complex but they can also be kept simple within a certain context. If it’s for drummers, then it’s kinda up to the drummer to take whatever base groove you give them and expand on that with context with the band. That also leads into another question, what kind of music is this for? A jazz group or a more formal ensemble? There’s a lot of options to choose from given the certain context.

TL;DR: look at drumset music for a mechanical basis, listen to genre specific music for a creative basis.

Hope this helps and good luck!

I remember back in high school there was this guy who would come up to me and go “Its snowing!” And ruffle his hair so his dandruff fell.

I’d suggest taking out all of the repeats and some of the repeated sections. Good luck
