tempo

I have three parts to this song written, or at least three very basic ideas. they all feel right to me somehow; like they belong in this piece together. but the together thing is causing me problems. I have been trying all evening to figure out how to get these parts to play nicely with each other and I haven't yet figured it out. I think the problem is tempo. two of them are happy at 92bpm or so and the other settles right in at 80bpm, or maybe even slower. maybe this isn't a problem. maybe there's just a tempo shift. how bad would that be? probably not bad at all, but I have to figure out how it should happen. this is not a task for tonight. I am worn out sitting at the piano for an hour and my metronome is now annoying me.

good night.
