Day Daily |Dag Dagelijks
a cycle of compositions for the day | een compositie-cyclus voor de dagfor seven ensembles, organ and electronic pulse (2009-2014)
Day Daily is a cycle of compositions that represent the four transitional moments of the day: midnight (Nous le chant I & II for voices and instruments,) the break of day (De dag daagt for organ,) midday (One Noon for six percussionists) and nightfall (»wonen is het Westen« for small ensemble.) These four compositions are bound together by twenty-four one-minute pieces for four differently scored quartets of the sub-cycle called Day Daily - The Hours. Together these pieces represent the twenty-four hours of the day.
All the sections may be performed separately.
