Program Notes:
The text for I'll See You in the Morning was taken from a children's book of the same name, written by Mike Jolly. The book evokes a calm, reassuring atmosphere with its warm illustrations of the moon and stars, snuggling animals, and sleeping children. I wanted to capture the same aura through the use of lush, comforting harmonies and a relaxed tempo. I also wanted to highlight the sense of deep love that a parent feels for a child, as this text does. As the mother of a two-year-old when I wrote this piece, those feelings were somewhat self-referential.
