Vignettes of a Day Trio Oboe Viola Piano

Hi all,

Here's a work that laid unfinished for 17 years.  Came across it again on the computer and decided to finish the work.  It's a set of vignettes (moods) through out a day: Morning Rush 7 AM, Afternoon Dreams 3 PM, Dinner Alone 5 PM,

7 PM, Falling Asleep 11 PM ..... and ?

Falling asleep are variations of a lullaby I composed for my daughter 47 years ago.

Hope you enjoy the work.

This is so wonderful, and I think you composed the joyful/playful sections very well:)

Hey Mark @MJFOBOE!

Nice succinct multi-movement piece!  I especially like the 11 pm falling asleep section - probably because of the close connection you have in that part to memories of your daughter.  I also like how the piece starts over again as the new day dawns.  I would have expected a dream-like sequence after the 11 pm falling asleep section though - could have made for some really interesting music!  I also really liked the 3/4 hemiolas in the morning rush section.  There is a peculiar artificiality to your musical style (I'm not meaning this at all as a negative comment though just an observation).  Once again, I can't help but compare this artificiality of your style to Stravinsky.  Thanks for sharing!
