This turned out BEAUTIFUL, Sean! I love the attention to detail in how you approached crafting certain elements, like using a star's number of sides to drive the number of beats per measure. Well done!

My submission for JAMA Jam December 2023!
The theme was stars and I knew I wanted to write something that represents stars' twinkle and sparkle. Pretty chords arpeggiated on a celesta with strings and winds supporting it. Also very much at the forefront of my mind because I saw a performance of The Nutcracker Friday night and the celesta was gorgeous!
I really like deriving certain elements of the theme and crafting my music around it and this case is no different. Stars, usually, have 5 sides so the music has 5 beats every measure and it uses 5 distinct chords. And for stars that have 6 sides, the actual rhythmic groupings of the arpeggios are in 6.
