A Book of Days is a long-term project by composer Eve Beglarian, conceived in 2001: one piece for each day of the year — text, music, and sometimes visuals.

She thinks of them as "mulling over" pieces, made in the spirit of commonplace books and medieval books of days. Each begins from a found text for which she writes music; some are then illuminated by video rather than medieval miniatures.

Of the 366 pieces she hopes to complete, 186 are finished. Today is at the center. Drag to move through the year. Click any thumbnail to open that entry.
