(Level III) Ballad For A Lovely Daughter Composed for and premiered by the
2010 International Trombone Festival Jazz Choir. An
even-eighth ballad in the key of F, playable by as few as four performers or as
a larger choir. Everyone gets a piece of the melody at some point. Lead part
rises only to A above the staff. The provided drum set part is optional. No
improvised solos. This composition is dedicated to my
stepdaughter, Kate, who entered my life when I met my then-future wife, Mary,
and is a wonderful addition to my family!
