A Promise to Stand By opens with a jubilant fanfare based on the head motive of the Alma Mater, "We bring to thee, we sing to thee" that progresses in ascending semitones in the characteristic scheme of the Falcon Fanfare from E-flat, through E, to F. From that point A], a jaunty rhythmic pulse is introduced, employing mixed meter and displaced accents relative to the predictable opening fanfare motif. During this transitional passage, snippets from the fight song, are heard, and the rhythm "settles" into a slightly-more-predictable 3+2-2+3 5/8 meter B]. Winds and brass alternate phrases,...

My concepts present, for the first time, a genuine theory of tonal language - he was not overly humble but we might expect as much of the most important theorist of tonal music to write in the 20th century.

These piano miniatures are virtually all that survive of Delej's musical output, and his only surviving manuscript. A concert programme from June 1942 indicates a Violoncello Sonata in three movements; five songs on poems by Heinrich Heine; and a String Quartet in three movements. Delej...
