Composed by Les Hooper. Arranged by Ryan McGeorge. Chamber music. Published by Potenza Music (P2.90021). Originally written for big band, Chickenyard Social is a funk interpretation of the sounds you might hear at, well...a chickenyard social. The rhythmic figures throughout the tune sound like musical chicken clucks and calls. Although it is not widely known in the big bang world, this tune has turned into a cult standard at the University of North Texas where is continues to be performed by the numerous Lab Bands on a regular basis.
