This is quite a challenge for a number of reasons that will become apparent to you as you listen to the melody.

I'm curious to see what some of you will do with this.

Yes, by all means, do anything you need to do to make this melody yours, but don't alter the melody itself.

I have a surprise for you all once some more people have contributed. When it looks like this has petered out, I'll let it out of the bag.

I'm already fascinated with what you did with it, Letehn!

Yes, i didn't know where that impromptu idea came from ( ), but that accel in the introduction surely pulls you in.

I'm curious to see what you have in store for us, Lee...

Patience...

I want to see how many different treatments arise from this material. You've already made it an exercise in diversity without even knowing it, and that was the idea!

Grrr...

PS: I just noticed that i wrote ''i didn't know where that impromptu idea came from''. So much for my perfect english spelling and grammar.

Anyways, i just got a new idea. If the other doesen't do it for y'all, then this one surely will. Now we just need a few more harmonizations...

More harmonizations you say? Sure thing! I figure I may as well try out one of these things and see just how crappy I truly am at harmonization .

Anyhow, here's mine, for string quintet. It's the first thing that popped into my head when I heard the melody. I hope you like it!
