Yearn is a work of notated music for string quartet. The piece examines the emotions of longing and loss through the repetition of motivic and timbral fragments, which are continually frustrated and never fully resolved. Elements of American and British folk music traditions are also drawn upon as inspiration for much of the bowing patterns and harmonic content present in the piece. The piece is approximately twelve minutes in duration.
