Lullaby for a Legend

Commissioned by two music educators for their band-director father, this work contributes to the middle school repertoire that he holds dear. His love for his children is a major inspiration of this piece. Other inspirations you will hear include a playful middle section representing being a grandfather, a melodic trumpet statement answered by horn and clarinet – his children's instruments – followed by the melody in the trumpet, horn, trombone, euphonium, and mallet percussion parts, the instruments played by his grandchildren. Great for a reflective moment in concert or contest, this loving lullaby will create an emotional impact in your performances.
