Program Notes
Still With Me was commissioned by euphonium virtuoso Frank Meredith in memory of Sandy, his beloved Yellow Labrador. Our collaboration, which started pre-COVID as an elegy for “man’s best friend,” took on new meaning with the onset of a global pandemic. By the time I completed the piece in September 2020, over 850 thousand people had died worldwide. The pain of loss is interminable. Yet when somebody touches you, they touch you forever. Friends and family who pass on remain with us always, living on in our hearts.
