so quietly was written for the Brooklyn Youth Chorus in the summer of 2016. I wanted to make something that reflects the experience of being a quiet person in the room, wanting to express an opinion or idea, but lacking the courage to speak up and take up space. It is an experience I often had in school growing up, and it is something I have observed in other people (often young women) in a group setting where the discourse is dominated by just one or a few. Writing the piece was part of my own reckoning with the responsibility to participate more actively, to be just a little louder, to speak up for myself and others, and to contribute joy and music, even when it feels difficult.
