Journey is a solo dance originally choreographed in 1958 and later incorporated into a revised version of a larger work by Trisler called Theater Piece (1960). Journey is set to The Unanswered Question by Charles Ives (1874-1954), composed some time before 1909 -- a short, intensely evocative orchestral mood-poem comprising a steady, soft background of muted strings, a persistently repeated "question" by a solo trumpet and an unsuccessful hunt for the "answer" undertaken with increasing urgency by the flutes.
