Description
Homage To Bartok for Woodwind Quintet by Katherine Hoover
Score and parts
I. Allegro agitato
II. Arioso
III. Vivace
Of the many marvelous aspects of Bartok’s compositions, two in particular have influenced this piece. In the first movement I have used structural techniques and short, angular themes typical of string quartets, but seldom, if ever, applied to winds. A folk element is evident in the rhythms and patterns of the last movement. The second movement, an arioso in free time, is not consciously tied to Bartok. It begins with a long oboe solo which overlaps the end of the preceding movement.” -K. Hoover 1975
