A Day in Monroe County (2010) is based loosely on memories of my childhood. Monroe County is in South Alabama, and its largest city is Monroeville. Monroeville is where I travelled almost every year for family reunions as a child. It is also where author Harper Lee grew up. Though I did read Lee's novel To Kill a Mokingbird, I think it was more specifically my exposure to the 1962 film adaptation of the book that most strongly influenced my childhood memories of Monroeville. These are some of the thoughts that were on my mind while composing A Day in Monroe County. This piece was composed for my friend Christopher Lowry, who is an accomplished violist and composer.
The first performance of A Day in Monroe County took place on 11 February 2011 at Vanderbilt University's Blair School of Music in Nashville, Tennessee. Violist Christopher Lowry and pianist Valerie Hsu were the performers.
