Journal

Flute, Guitar, and Cello

Composer's Note:

Journal is a series of nine brief movements named for days of the week. The pieces could be heard as representing diary entries suggesting a narrative sequence. I composed the piece at the artist retreat Yaddo in 1996, on a request from a Danish Trio comprising this instrumentation. I had never written for guitar before and purchased an inexpensive one at a local music store. To make sure that it was playable, I learned how to play the part I was writing while writing it. 


Movements: 1. Sunday (lullaby) 2. Monday 3. Tuesday (coup de foudre or sudden fright) 4.Wednesday 5. Thursday 6. Friday (night club) 7. Sunday (dejection) 8. Monday 9. Tuesday (contentment)

Authored (or revised): 1996

Published: 2026

Duration (minutes): 14

First performance: 1996 by Trio Odino

Book format: Score + 3 Parts
