For Lillian

For Lillian is a fresh, lyrical and flowing ballad featuring the trumpet section on optional flugelhorns. It's very playable, yet richly musical, and gives the melody to every section at some point. The only solo is short and written for piano. While this is very nice as change-of-pace programming, it will also pay big dividends in providing instructional objectives for developing intonation, ensemble balance, and phrasing.
