I WROTE A NEW ANTHEM FOR NEW JERSEY - Ode to New Jersey 2026

MORE INFO BELOW!!!!!!! IF THE NEW JERSYE ARTS FELLOWSHIP GRANT PEOPLE NEEVER RESPOND TO THIS I AM GONNA EAT MY HAT ~~Special thanks to my sister Aelestrid who helped with the album cover,I love you!!!!!! She did the blueberries and text and filigrees! It's based on the NJ flag!~~ Here is a detailed analysis which I wrote to them in 1.5 seconds so I could make the deadline. DAW is garageband which is about to explode and so is my ratchet 2018 iPad. "First you hear a hlarious harpsichord which is typicos for the 1770s pop. The rousing ragtime drums are meant to evoke the very height of New Jersey's Paterson Silk City industry (1890s) and the Labor Movement. ~~~~~shout out to the real Alexander Hamilton whose statue you may visit at Great Falls and who says fye to the disgusting aaron-burr-praising musical which is incredibly inaccurate to his own writing, please read his hilarious writing it is so sasy~~~~~ The song then becomes an 18th century Opera Buffa and Round in order in the style of pop mysic of 1776, when New Jersey was founded. The glissando of the piano represents the reliance of Water Mills and the piano in general represents the Morris Canal transposing the song from one place to another. The ending is based on the compositons and Pow Wow Music of the Lenni Lenape Native Americans which icnoorates 4/4 drum. The tambourine is meant to evoke the sound of festival regalia whjch is usually made of beads and shells. I have sang all the parts channeling the very depth of my connection to the heartbeat of this land. It also recalls the circuses of Asbury Park, Seaside Heights, and Cape May. The strings recall the flow of the waves of the Jersey Shore. The fact that the bell plays it first shows that other states and terrotiies are only trying to be similar to New Jersey, but we have always been ahead in industry and creativity (hence New Jersey leading the way in jazz very often including the Newark jive n rnb movements which would pave the way for one of the world's greatest bands, Kool & THe Gang) The cosmic ending on the meditation of the land shows that Lenni Lenape land will be forever theis, for their sewardship of it older than history and onto the cosmos. Huge statement against colonialism whether it is European or corporate. This is supposed to take the listener from Appearance (sirguna) to the Edges of Nirguna Brahman and hear Heaven Itself ehcoong through the Sacred Soil of New Jersey, formed as just one facet of this grand expanding universe"
