Quintet (2 flutes, 2 clarinets (Bb) piano)
Quintet
2 flutes, 2 clarinets (Bb) and piano duration: 25’
Although a through-composed piece, this quintet loosely falls into three sections, with the first being a slow, slightly wistful section with the slight hint of Celtic flavour. The second section has passages of interwoven fast running semi quavers which moves into the section with the ‘big, lush tune”. Throughout, there are passages from each section incorporated into the others; hence the piece hangs together as a whole, single movement.
When I was writing it, the garden was full of forget-me-nots which gave a “frothy blue” to all the beds…. Which seemed to blend with the”frothiness” of the semi quaver sections. In my mind, too, were visions of Japanese cherry blossoms, fluffy, yet delicate – the effervescent bubbliness of the semiquavers….. and the light, wistful, gentle opening section which also returns throughout.
Please note, the sound file is an electronic sound file.
