OK, not wishing to wear out my welcome here, I will not post Yet Another In-Progress Version. But I think I have arrived at an ARCHITECTURE for this project, within which further development will take place, and I will post a picture of it.

Four short sections, about a minute each:

1) The theme in D Major (green)
2) The theme inverted, but constrained to the original chord progression (blue)
3) The theme and chords inverted – for reasons I do not fully understand, this takes the piece into G minor (red)
4) Return to the original chord progression in D Major, with the theme doubled by its in-key inversion

As Ensign Parker used to say on McHale's Navy, "Gee I love that kind of talk!"

Much room within each section for all manner of foolishness and folderol, and the key changes present a challenge to do something more interesting than just slam one against the other. I am incorporating Mario's suggestions regarding instrumention, using cello, recorder and celesta. At some point, I will probably invoke BIAB.
