This is the piano solo version of the theme I composed as incidental music for a theatrical performance of Romeo and Juliet my senior year at Millikin University. This lovely melody was inspired by the words “Romeo, oh, Romeo! Wherefore art thou “Romeo?” On this one, I intentionally used the major 6th opening interval from a number of John Williams’ love themes, and used chord progressions inspired by Stephen Foster.
