Prelude & Fugue - Philip Orem   New piece   Click to hear sound clip
CLS10 • $40.00 • Length: 4:00 • Classical • Grade Three to Four
Based on the melody to Twinkle Twinkle Little Star, Orem’s Prelude uses the ‘Twinkle’ melody as whole notes in the bass and includes another melody in the tenor pans with lovely chord changes in the accompaniment. The Fugue employs the Twinkle melody as the starting point for the theme that gets played in all the voices of the steel band. The Fugue is the more advanced of the two pieces.

Two Lullabies - Philip Orem   New piece   Click to hear sound clip
CLS11 • $40.00 • Length: 4:00 • Classical • Grade Three
Two lyrical pieces in 3/4. Orem's Two Lullabies are a wonderful way to display the softer, warmer side of your steel band while introducing your audience to a new dimension of pan music. Both of these compositions are based on the same melody. Lullaby Doux is in G major and has a bright tempo. The double seconds part is the busiest and most difficult part of this piece. Lullaby Triste is the opposite of Lullaby Doux in that it is more somber and is in G minor.

CLS12 • $30.00 • Length: 3:00 • Classical • Grade Three
A wonderfully wistful waltz. The moving cello part is perhaps the most difficult part in this composition. Showcase the musicality and dynamic range of your ensemble with this charming piece in 3/4 time.

Amazing Grace - Trad., arr. Paul G. Ross   New piece   Click to hear sound clip
CLS5 • $40.00 • Length: 3:20 • Grade Two
One of the most simple and beautiful melodies ever written. This version of "Amazing Grace" is an elegant treatment that includes a variation on the original harmony and a new melody that comes in after the standard melody has been played twice. Djembe and cabasa provide a stately rhythmic accompaniment. Good for a beginner to intermediate ensemble.

Silent Night - Gruber, arr. Paul G. Ross
CLS3 • $45.00 • Length: 3:30 • Ballad • Grade Three
Beginning with the calm of a single cello note and growing into sonorous radiance of the entire steel band, this arrangement wonderfully displays a richness and warmth that steel band music doesn't always have.
