This piece is based on a text that my friend Sophia wrote when she was a child. It is derived from a letter she wrote during her youth. I took a film class last semester and found inspiration in motherhood while watching a documentary by Naomi Kawase. During extensive research, I ventured to guess that one of the happiest and most unforgettable moments for mothers is when toddlers say 'mother' or 'mom' for the first time. I drew inspiration from the linguistic development of a toddler, starting from incoherent sounds to clearer, more distinct expressions. The piece concludes with the clear word 'mom,' while the middle section is based on the gestures of toddler sounds that I researched for a while. Despite toddlers using many vowels, I removed all vowels from Sophia’s letter, leaving only the consonants. Similar to the way toddlers communicate with mothers using a language that adults can't fully understand, a female-identifying singer will convey Sophia's message to the audience without a clear vocabulary composition. Just as every baby is unique, the tempo and phrasing of this piece can vary widely and may include lots of rubato. Although it is written for a female-identifying voice, this piece can be performed by anyone who identifies themselves as mothers.
