Wind Quintet
£12.00 – £16.00
Description
This wind quintet is an elaborate reworking of four songs from Stuff and Nonsense (Op.14), dating from 1992. Humour pervades, in all its guises – from irony to parody, from sarcasm to mock banality! The work is essentially tonal, with elements of jazz and ‘wrong-note’ harmony to emphasise the humour, and it pays homage to the sardonic side of Malcolm Arnold, exponent par excellence of the lighter side of music. Each movement is structured as a series of variations, the themes and harmony being constantly reworked on each presentation.
1. Allegro ritmico
2. Allegro risoluto
3. Mesto e con parodio
4. Vivace burlesco
Duration: 9 minutes
