"There by the Door" from Caity Gyorgy's 2021 album Now Pronouncing: Caity Gyorgy is an original waltz composition featuring a one-chorus flugelhorn solo from Kyle Pogline. Set in G major with a 36-bar ABAC form at 128 BPM in three-quarter time, the track demonstrates Gyorgy's ability to compose in less common meters while maintaining melodic appeal. Pogline's warm flugelhorn tone is ideally suited to the song's gentle waltz feel, his solo floating gracefully over the rhythm section's lilting accompaniment. The waltz format, while not uncommon in jazz, requires a particular sensitivity to the rhythmic flow, and Pogline navigates it with assurance. Now Pronouncing: Caity Gyorgy was the vocalist's sophomore release and expanded her sonic palette through the inclusion of horns alongside the core piano trio. The album's original compositions showcase Gyorgy's evolving voice as a songwriter, with each tune revealing a different facet of her musical personality. This waltz is among the album's most delicate moments, its unhurried tempo and romantic harmonic language creating an atmosphere of tender reflection. Gyorgy's decision to feature the flugelhorn as the primary solo voice adds a textural warmth that distinguishes the track from more conventional saxophone-driven jazz vocal arrangements.
