Laura Lee: Conductor Score & Parts (Eighth Note Publications) (Paperback)
Laura Lee by Frank McKinney is an original pop ballad for concert band. The piece begins featuring the clarinet section and steadily develops into the easy pulse of the entire ensemble. The trumpets introduce the bridge before the original verse returns. After a thoughtful transition the mood is uplifted into the final chorus. Turn down the auditorium lights---let your audience raise hands and wave cell phone screens.
