Meredith Willson's one-man masterpiece, The Music Man, features a couple of counterpoint combinations, where one song shares the chord structure with another and can be played/sung together. This is one of them. The Buffalo Bills barbershop quartet (the school board) sings Lida Rose, while Shirley Jones (in the movie) as Marian the Librarian sings Will I Ever Tell You elsewhere in River City. This arrangement is built from a barbershop arrangement found floating on the 'net from a gay men's chorus, with the four higher horns -- two trumpets, horn, trombone -- providing the quartet. The trombone peels off for the Marian ballad.

This gently wistful yet stirring piece was inspired by the demise of a once-grand willow grove as change overtook the region. Perfect to develop a rich, singing cantabile line with long, full bow strokes, and to practice dotted rhythms and 8th-note passages. (3:30)
