Lemon Law

Description

Lemon Law is a fun, upbeat tune roughly in sonata form. The ‘A’ section is swing-based, and contains the ‘head.’ It metrically modulates into the ‘B’ section, which is reggae-based. The ‘B’ section also contains a written-out tenor pan solo. With relatively little transition the piece enters what could be considered the development, combining elements of the piece at various pitch levels. After a fairly lengthy build-up, the A section returns with occasional alterations from what might be expected. Lemon Law was premiered in May 2011 by the Oklahoma City University Steel Drum Band.
