Description

Flute, Oboe, Clarinet in Bb, Horn in F, Bassoon — William Averitt's Tunebook for Woodwind Quintet is a new take on seven melodies from The Sacred Harp, the most famous of the 19th-century source books. This work combines these melodies with contemporary harmonic practice to create a 19-minute work for woodwind quintet in seven movements: "Saints Bound for Heaven," "Idumea," "Sweet Prospect," "Home," "The Enquirer," "Expression," and "Jordan's Shore." For advanced ensembles.
