Nov. 10th, 2021 07:39 amI was associated with some historically-informed organization that needed a theme song, and I had written one that seemed to suit the purpose.
On waking, I have no idea why it "seemed to suit the purpose" except that it was my own and therefore not under anybody else's copyright. It sounds like a standard-issue Sousa march or a college fight song -- indeed, so standard-issue that I wouldn't be surprised if somebody else has already written and recorded it:
D2 E4 F#4 G4 A4 B4 G4 E4 F#8 G8 A4 G4 D1
D2 E4 F#4 G4 A4 B4 G4 A4 E4 F#4 G4 A1
D2 E4 F#4 G4 A4 B4 B4 C4 E4 G4 A4 B1
E4 F#4 G4 E4 D4 G4 B4 B8 C8 D8 E8 D8 C8 B4 A4 G1
Much of it is reminiscent of "It's a Long Way to Tipperary", and the last half-line reminds me of a campaign song from Nixon's 1960 Presidential run (and yes, that's before I was born, but I've heard recordings of it).
