Aura Lee

George R. Poulton

For trombone and piano

In F major, range C3 to B♭3

An American love song: a blackbird sings under a willow tree in spring, and its whole song is about Aura Lee, the girl with golden hair. George R. Poulton published the tune in 1861; almost a hundred years later, Elvis sang it as “Love Me Tender”.
