A rhythmic motive is introduced by the woodwinds leading to the main theme in the A section. The overall form is ABA. The composer has tried to capture the passion, dedication and enthusiasm for teaching that Mike Jones displays daily. Reflected in the slow section of the piece, are Jones’ optimism, sensitivity, musicality and his utmost concern for his students in their everyday life and musical development. After returning to the A section, Glorious Journey ends in a fiery coda.
