About this work:
Premiere: May 1982 Saint Paul, Minnesota
St. Paul Chamber Orchestra, William McGlaughlin, cond.
Award Winner, St Paul Chamber Orchestra Competition
Commentary: My journals record an internal dialogue and have become a source of strength and self-awareness. As composer, many of my thoughts are in music, not words, and so it seemed appropriate to record this stream of consciousness. 1981 was a turbulent year for me. My schooling was behind me and I had just concluded a two-year apprenticeship as Assistant conductor with the Pittsburgh Symphony.
Review: "A unique combination of sounds and themes.... exciting, intriguing, and positive. It's a work worth repeat hearing"
