A soul calypso adaptation of Chromatic Polka. Composed by Louis Kohler. Arranged by Brian Slawson. Percussion Ensembles. Arranged for percussion ensemble. Folio & Parts on CD-ROM. Tapspace Publications #TSPCE19-016. Published by Tapspace Publications (TA.TSPCE19-016).

The combination of soul music mixed with calypso brought forth a style of dance music from Trinidad and Tobago known as ''soca.'' In Brian Slawson's arrangment of Louis Kohler's Chromatic Polka, there are two musical styles at play: 1.) the rhythms and instruments of soca music and 2.) the melodies and harmonies of German polka music. Put these two together and you've got Soca Polka!

This arrangement can be performed with as little as 3 percussionists or as many as 14 percussionists, making it extremely adaptable to suit almost any ensemble's needs.

This piece comes as a professionally printed and bound score and includes individual parts in PDF format for printing or for tablet viewing.
