One More Parable

Written in memory of the great educator, Richard L. Auman. "One More Parable" is meant to serve as the final lesson, or rather conversation between the student and the master. Richard always had a way of crafting a story during a music lesson, band rehearsal, or even just simple gathering that not only entertained you, but also provided a lesson in the end. Much like the parables told by Richard, the ballad opens with a grand entrance of harmony and movement before bringing the listener to the heart of the story via trombone (the featured soloist). Through various forms of instrumental color and harmony, this ballad is sure to captivate audience members with awe and wonder. No matter how much the student surpasses the master, there is always one final lesson to be learned. You can find this recording on the 2022 album "Gardyn Jazz Orchestra". PLEASE NOTE: There are saxophone parts and a score that omit the doubles.
