Maybe Another Day presents a melody which meanders around F minor, lamenting to be valuable in a world of oversaturated music. The faster section includes arpeggiated, extended chords to imply cliché jazz colors as if the player were a “failed jazzer” in a competitive music scene. They were not successful with this audition, but maybe another day! This “audition melody” includes pedal-range notes as well as notes nearing the top of the instrument’s limits, but even the recurring triplet lick cannot guarantee a second audition. Ah well!
Michael Goss performs Maybe Another Day for Connor's concert "Silhouettes."
