Waxed poetically about my beginning years for @cleveorch’s “Dawn Early Light,” featuring the premiere of my work “Can You See?” and Barber’s cello concerto, performed by @alisaweilerstein.

Some things about myself that have been challengin

Some things about myself that have been challenging to observe...
❤️ I love a love story. I am actually a sucker for love. I’m all mush inside.
😒 I can be very petty when I’m super hurt.
3️⃣ For better or worse, this is definitely my enneagram.
🧠 I have to utilize Socratic questioning more often…

Aside from an upcoming birthday trip to Miami, I will be home for the next several months. I’m really looking forward to composing tons of music, but also tending to my whole self (especially that stuff above ⬆️), my family, home, and friends. I’m also looking forward to resting and practicing better health. 🧘🏾

I hope you all have a wonderful week of thankfulness and gratitude. I love this time of year. Get ready for a slew of Sagittarius, birthday, and holiday posts coming your way… ♐️🦃🎄🎁

Texas bound tomorrow! Headed to the “Women in Classical Music Symposium” hosted by @dallassymphony. I’ll be speaking on Monday’s panel “Amplifying Voices: Composers as Curators and Influencers” with @kathryn_bostic, @niaimanifranklin, @sophiajanimusic, and @iamvanessareed. Last time I was in Dallas, I ate a pigs head with some fellow woodwind players 🐷. If anyone’s around, I’m always down for a food adventure, so hit me up and also come hear what these brilliant women and myself have to say. 😉

❤️Husband appreciation post❤️ Taking a minute to express gratitude to @geoffrey.hull.nyc for taking care of me while I’m lying up in the bed with Covid 😷.He manages to remain negative and asymptomatic, but he’s super healthy and big medicine, so that makes sense. We’ve been together forever and been through it all and I can honestly say; this is true love, family, and partnership. Can’t wait to get better and re-enact that last photo (hide your kids)🙊😘. Thank you for everything you do for me and our family.❤️

Loggins-Hull’s “Can You See?” fragments and

Loggins-Hull’s “Can You See?” fragments and transforms the melodic figures of “The Star-Spangled Banner” as though placing them under a magnifying glass. These snippets of tune, already stretched and reshaped, are embedded in sustained, hazy, but evolving orchestral texture through which penetrates active and aggressive percussion episodes. In some ways, the effect is similar to that of Charles Ives’s “The Unanswered Question”, in which a foggy string environment is background to a flute quartet chorale, over which solo trumpet pierces the gloom.
Loggins-Hull’s piece is in every dimension more active than Ives’s. The “environmental” texture of strings in “Can You See?” includes unstable timbres produced by playing ponticello (bowing near the instrument’s bridge), suggesting electronic distortion. This timbre, one familiar to the composer through her broad experience with electronics, hints at a distant kinship with another critique of “The Star-Spangled Banner”—that of the thoughtfully virtuosic master guitarist Jimi Hendrix. In this expanded orchestral version of “Can You See?”, Loggins-Hull creates another electronics analogy, using the orchestra as a kind of digital delay, or echo, allowing the anthem’s melodic ideas to ripple outward through transformations of time and color. The enriched experience of the piece somehow parallels the layers of history and meaning, dark and light, positive and negative, that “The Star Spangled Banner” has absorbed and continues to accrue in its role as a powerful symbol of our evolving nation.

Saying goodbye to the socials for a spell… Lots and lots of music and life to work on. A1s know how to reach me and please do. ❤️🧘🏾☮️

Thank you to @cleveorch for this beautiful feature

Thank you to @cleveorch for this beautiful feature in Spotlight magazine and for the trust, community, and artistry that you have shared with me. We’re on an epic journey together and aim to cultivate new ways for orchestras, artists, and people of the community to connect. Here’s to our second season together and musical collaborations with @karamuhouseinc, @fatimafamilycenter, and @global.cleveland. 🥂🎻❤️🫂

Last week at @matchouston: Premiered a new work for #flute, #stringquartet, and digital stomp box entitled “Ban” with @apollochamberplayers. I sampled the sound of a book slamming down - which was triggered by my stomping foot. Here’s why, info brought to you by @penamerica:

📕In the 2022-23 school year, PEN America recorded 3362 instances of books banned, an increase of 33% from the ‘21-‘22 school year.
📗Overwhelming, book banners continue to target stories by and about people of color and LGBTQ+ individuals.
📘The top three books banned by district are “Tricks” by Ellen Hopkins, “The Bluest Eye” by Toni Morrison, and “Looking for Alaska” by John Green.
📙We’ve got a big and growing problem here. Visit @penamerica for more info and resources. Easily make a donation above, to fight against the banning of books.

✊🏾✊🏽✊🏿✊🏼✊🏻

Once upon a time, there was a magical event full of #flute love and mystery. There was fashion. There was art. There was celebrity. There were designer wigs and Doja Cat. There was THIS beauty. 😍 The event had nothing to do with us, but also everything to do with us (flutes). At times I ask myself: was it all a dream? 🤔 Maybe it was… Gloriously, I soon get to relive dreamy flute magic, as I’m composing a Rhapsody for flute + orchestra for Queen @asoppsfables and others. Coming to an orchestra near you in the not-so-distant future. Stay tuned for more flute magic and mystery…👀

Everything here is under control, don’t worry. Prepping for a mini-residency this week at @theclariceumd, and for the premiere of “Ban” with @apollochamberplayers in Houston NEXT week. 🔗 in bio for info. 🤸🏿‍♀️🤸🏿‍♀️🤸🏿‍♀️

I am so happy it’s in the 60s right now. The joy of the fall wardrobe. 😌Give me a sweater, and you’ve given me the world. Lol. Not exactly. But today’s #gratitude is truly for the changing of the seasons. 🍁🧦👖

🚨PREMIERE🚨
“Ban” for #flute (tripling on #piccolo and digital stomp box?!?!) and #stringquartet. Written and performed by yours truly, premieres October 6 with @apollochamberplayers at @matchouston. This piece is all about the silencing of voices and stories. This here video is me under tempo and working. It. Out. A lot of multi-tasking, but we’re getting there and it’s fuuuuuuun… 😏

Practicing while lying on your back can be very revealing. It may look like the #flute has defeated me here, but everything is under control. Trust. 😮‍💨

When I visit a university, I like to think that I bring nothing but the utmost professionalism. Especially when engaging with the faculty, as seen here with @alextemplemusic, @jasoncaslor, and @gabriel.bolanos.chamorro. We all wore blue today! Vibes! 💙🔵 @asuwindbands @asugammage #composer #band

23/24 begins! First stop: Phoenix! Has nothing to do with this Warhol poster of mine, but next week I have a mini-residency at @arizonastateuniversity, where the @asuwindbands are working on a new piece of mine, I’ll spend time with #flute and #composition students, lab students of @danielroumain, and visit this desert land for the first time. Who has recs? Y’all know I especially like food and music. Let me know! 🌵🏜❤️
