Soca-ing Wet
captures that lively sound and feel of the Caribbean regionin a
percussion ensemble. - Terry O'Mahoney Printed by permission of the Percussive Arts Society, inc.
A happy soca written in D major and
utilizing many common 8th-note based cut-time rhythms and cross-accents, Soca-ing
Wet features an easy to hear melody and solo sections for the
percussionists. This ensemble was performed by the VanderCook College
Percussion Ensemble in a Middle School Percussion Ensemble Reading Session at
the Midwest Band Directors Convention in 2002 and is part of the Edge series
from C. Alan Publications. This is an exciting and
accessible work for early high school or advanced junior high
ensembles.
