In Miss Me  I attempted to explore some of the complicated and often contradictory feelings of longing I was experiencing in 2021. At the same time, I challenged myself to be as vulnerable as I could in doing so. Although these feelings may have been heightened by a global pandemic, there’s nothing new under the sun, and I think these are timeless and relatable emotions everyone goes through. In the same way the title takes on different meanings when presented in the different contexts of the accompanying poem, the recurring musical material and pitches take on different meanings when heard in different contexts during the piece.

Miss Me  was commissioned by and dedicated to Joy Guidry.
