Alfred Uhry, the Georgia native who famously wrote about his Southern Jewish grandmother in "Driving Miss Daisy," also penned "Parade," which was co-conceived by Harold Prince with music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown. The show is based on the true story of Leo Frank, a Brooklyn, N.Y.-raised Jewish man who owned a pencil factory in Atlanta. On April 26, 1913, the night of the annual Confederate Memorial Day parade, a 13-year-old employee of Frank's factory named Mary Phagan was killed after picking up her pay. There were two African American men at the factory at the time of Phagan's death: night watchman Newt Lee and janitor Jim Conley. Despite having an alibi, Frank was charged with the murder and convicted on the basis of circumstantial evidence.

As they say in the music business, "It all begins with a song. This is true from a commercial perspective, as it would be difficult to record albums, film videos, license music for video games, sell sheet music, or promote concerts without the basic building block of the musical composition. It is also true on the metaphysical level, because the organization of sounds into compositional form creates the necessary order that distinguishes music from noise. This article argues foremost for the adoption of a broad "musical work" definition that includes all contributions of expression greater than de minimis and the further adoption of the Nimmer Rule.
