Written as part of the “Family Suite,” this piece is dedicated to my daughter Mason. I think a good word to describe Mason is “tenacious.” When she gets focused on something, such as a school project, planning the details of a party, or finding a lost book, she sticks to it with intensity until the project is completed or the problem is solved. Like a boomerang, she’ll keep coming back to the issue at hand. The repetitive phrases in the first section of this piece remind me of Mason persistently coming to me as a child with a request, not willing to give up until every possibility was exhausted. She was also the child most likely to physically and verbally express affection – when she came home after having been away for a while, she usually greeted me with a hug and told me how much she missed me. I hope she continues to look forward to coming home now that she’s grown up and spread her wings. 3 pages. Intermediate level. Performance time: approximately 3:00. Included in the “Family Suite” songbook.
