about

“The Missing” For String Quartet

“The Missing” was written in July 2010 for the European American Musical Alliance (EAMA). It was premiered in Paris on July 21, 2010 by the Parisian EAMA string quartet in residence.
“The Missing” is in an asymmetrical AAABA form. The beginning of the piece experiments with extended string techniques blended with a simple nostalgic melody functioning as the main theme. This theme is then re-introduced in a traditional harmonic and contrapuntal texture leading to
a B section. In this section, a new theme informed by the rhythms of
a traditional dance from Togo, West Africa (the homeland of the dedicatee) is fragmented and developed in a Beethoven-inspired manner.
The “A” theme then returns in contrapuntal imitation and then in tutti, leading to a rubato codetta,
where the violin and cello insinuate gestures of the main melody
as they gradually deteriorate, offering conclusion on a final,
yet unbalanced harmony.
