Wind quintet.
Grade 5. Approx. duration: 16 minutes.
Set includes a score and five parts.
Written as a tribute to Claude Debussy on the centenary of his death, this work refers to two of his most famous compositions: “Trois Nocturnes” and “Prélude à l'après-midi d'un faune.” Indeed, in this quintet there are extra-musical programmatic references similar to those used by the French composer in his music. In the first movement, “Soñando con la comparsa,” a young Brazilian dancer falls asleep and dreams that he’s chasing a group of beautiful dancers during a carnival parade (like the faun in “Prelude”). In “Serenata sentimental,” a traditional Latin American scene is portrayed when a young man in love, along with a group of friends, sings under the balcony of his beloved on a warm Caribbean night. In “Romance callejero,” an underworld love story is told using the tunes of the previous nocturnes, which are presented in a classic rondo form.
The prolific use of the low registers in all of the instruments, long solos that contrast with full homophonic passages, a slow harmonic rhythm with ecstatic chords, and predominantly soft dynamics, are some of the resources used to create a fantastic atmosphere that is characteristic of the music of Impressionist composers of the 20th century.
