4 - Yesterday's Man

           Yesterday's Man begins with an accented 7/8 riff played by guitar and soprano saxophone with drums, bass and keyboards providing the hits. (Introduction) The main theme is then played by square; (Section A) on the repeat, saxophone echoes the melody. Following the main theme is theme 2 on the guitar. (Section B) Electric piano accompanies with an 8th note pattern in the background. This countermelody ends with a drum fill in triplets. Next is a restatement of the Main and 2nd themes followed by theme 3, played by soprano sax and electric piano. (Section C)

            Theme 3 is rare occurrence of a bridge leading directly to a closing statement instead of a recapitulation of a previous melody. The outro (Outro) is nearly identical to the intro but with melody now also played by bass and keys on the repeat and drums providing fills in the background.

            This piece is an homage to history, man's respect for eternal principles and rejection of destructive philosophies. Hope for the future begins with remembrance of the past. The full form is as follows:
