Course Description
Course information provided by the Courses of Study 2014-2015.
The Cornell Steel Band performs music of Trinidad and Tobago's dynamic "Panarama" culture, focusing on calypso and soca styles. The band also performs compositions written for the group, and music in a wide range of popular and classical genres. The role of the steel band within Trinidadian history and culture is also foregrounded through readings and discussions. 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. Prior musical experience is necessary, though not limited to percussion, and participants must audition.
