Music for Double Wind Quintet by Franco Cesarini. Par CESARINI FRANCO. A superb recording of five pieces for double wind quintet composed by Franco Cesarini. Suite Siciliana is a true tribute to this beautiful island, a piece composed by seven dances in the musical form typical of the baroque period. Divertimento, an early work of Franco Cesarini, illustrates the composer's love of popular song. A piece characterised by skillful instrumentation and meticulous attention to balance and form. Le Cortège du Roi Renaud is a suite in five parts based on tales that originate in southern European folk songs dating back as far as the 16th century. Pastorale de Provence, a suite in four movements, was written by Franco Cesarini in memory of the great Provençal composer Darius Milhaud. As the title says, Greek Folk Dances is entirely in the sign of Greek dances starting with a kalamatianos, followed by a zeibekiko. The piece ends with a hasapiko. A perfect mix of new and less new repertoire, perfectly composed and arranged for double wind quintet by Franco Cesarini and beautifully performed by the Rovereto Wind Ensemble! / Date parution : 2022-04-01/ Livres, revues, DVD, logiciels et accessoires / Double Quintette de Vents

Quintet for Wind Instruments in E flat major op. 88 2-Reicha published a total of 24 wind quintets for the ?classical? scoring of flute oboe clarinet horn and bassoon; op. 88 no. 2 is one of the best-loved and most played. ?If it were possible to surpass Haydn in the compositionof quartets and quintets Reicha would have succeeded with these quintets? thus raved the ?Allgemeine Musikalische Zeitung? on a performance of Reicha?s quintets ?it seems to me that it is impossible to unite more correctnessand clarity with more inventiveness and originality.? This work exudes inspiration and spirit from every note. In addition to the parts we have also produced a handy study edition of the score.

Score and five parts (Flute Oboe Clarinet Bassoon Horn).Moderate level of difficulty.Night on Bald Mountain depicts a witches’ sabbath on St. John’s Day the night between 23 and 24 June. Its sections present the infernal noise of ghostly voices the chattering and quarrelling of witches the appearance of ghosts the dance of witches and demons the appearance of Satan the adoration and Black Mass and finally the pealing bells of the village church announcing the break of day and thus the end of the witches’ sabbath.Whether intentionally or not Mussorgsky actually finished the work on the eve of St. John’s Day (23 June1867) after spending twelve days on its composition. Technically speaking Joachim Linckelmann’s exciting version for Wind Quintet is the arrangement of an arrangement as Mussorgsky’s symphonic poem is almost invariably heard in the familiar version by Rimsky-Korsakov.
