UKRAINIAN SUITE (score & parts)

The Ukrainian Suite for wind quintet dates from 1983 and is in three movements. In the opening Allegretto, there is a hint of minimalist techniques, where the unusual harmonic shifts will challenge the players to forget conventional cadences. Several parts share parallel rhythms in many places, while one part carries the melodic material. Similar principles can be seen at work in the Moderato con moto second movement, where persistent repeated notes accompany the melody. The third movement, also Moderato at the start, builds towards a final section where all five parts share very similar note patterns, and excitement is generated by the contrasting dynamics and the relentless drive of the rhythms. This quintet was originally published by Phylloscopus Publications in 2001 and set from the manuscript by C.M.M. Nex and F.H. Nex.
