Zealousy is not based on a drumline cadence, instead I took inspiration from the drumline music from one of the fight songs at my high school called "Across the Field." My melody is completely original, of course, but the form and rhythm follow almost perfectly. I always enjoyed the excitement and power provided by the drumline when we played, which in turn inspired my piece.
The title derives from a combination of zealous and jealousy, no surprise there. You are free to interpret the significance as you like. I have no particular reason for selecting the title, other than I enjoy how the word sounds.
