In 2015, composer Michael Zev Gordon took up the idea of writing musical diary entries, which has spawned this ongoing series of small pieces for solo piano. With most written in a single day, with only minor subsequent refinements, Gordon beautifully captures a feeling, a nuance, an image and, as is the nature of a diary, often with personal associations.
Pianist Joseph Houston sensitively responds to Gordon’s recurring themes of the bitter- sweet waltz, unwavering stillness, elegiac simplicity, folk-like dances and fleeting brilliance.
