The song has 3 sections here and is playable by high school level students.

Pan in Harmony

In 1972, Trinidad and Tobago's Carnival was postponed due to a polio outbreak.  When Carnival was eventually staged, it had changed from dry season to wet season and the rains came and ruined the parade. This was vividly captured the next Carnival by Aldwyn Roberts, the Lord Kitchener in his 1973 Road March, Rain-o-rama.
This arrangement is by trombonist and arranger, Aidan Chamberlain, and is produced with kind permission of the Roberts family.

Rain-o-Rama

A full sounding arrangement of this passionate piece, originally for piano but scored here for brass ten-piece (4,1,4,1).  Some great, organ-like moments, interesting bass lines and some gymnastics for the first trumpet.

Volkslied

A Patois folk song from Trinidad and Tobago that describes fishermen going out, sailing round the various small islands off the Trinidad coast and bringing back fresh fish.  Pweson comes from the French word for fish, poisson.

Pweson, pweson, Se yon bel dejene
Pweson, pweson, Se yon bel dejene 
Any fish today madam oy
Any fish today madam oy
Pweson, pweson, Se yon bel dejene

The fisherman he is passing with all kind of fish
The fisherman he is passing with all kind of fish
Pweson wouj, gwan ton-ton
Big fish and little fish
Five cents a heap
