Zaimont: 3: 4, 5 for oboe, clarinet, violin, viola, and bass (parts and study score)

Code: JP5001
ISMN: 979-0-3019-0553-1

Three movements to this quintet for oboe, clarinet, violin, viola, and bass: Blend, The Mad Dance, and Elegy. The unusual instrumentation for this quintet is due to its commission circumstance as a companion piece to Prokofiev's op. 39 of the same instrumentation. Since these five instruments normally come together only as parts of a larger, conducted ensemble, the work's musical issues were suggested directly by the logistics of its instrumentation: How to create blend from an inherently un-blended collection of timbres, and how to enable a short-hand "orchestra" to play together, in nuanced fashion, without a conductor. . . . 3: 4, 5 . . . was commissioned by Jeanne, Inc. and is recorded by Fiati. The set includes the performance parts plus one study score.
