This morning is all about getting familiar with the theme – breaking it down into its core components. Here it is as solo piano in A major in 3/4 time at 97 beats per minute.

Throughout this week and next I’m going to progressively lower the tempo and expand the development of the theme – I can already hear a minor variation – and then develop some string parts. Ultimately I’m looking for a 10 to 15 minute piece of music that takes the listener on a journey – all of it inspired by the New York Jets fight song.
