Love Lives On

Mr. Larry Hall was a man whose kindness knew no bounds. An instrument repairman, he made a living serving many schools in northern Maine. When the composer was an elementary student, Larry saved the day by repairing his broken clarinet reed before band class, charging only a quarter, since that is all the student had. This grade 2.5 piece is dedicated to the memory of Larry and all the kids he helped in northern Maine and the entire state. The trumpet solo early in the piece is a special tribute, as Larry was a first class trumpet player.
