TALES AFTER MIDNIGHT (2017)
Quintet in four movements
for violin, viola, cello, double bass & piano
Originally composed in 2011 as "Cornucopia Quintet" at a bassist's request for a companion piece to Schubert's "Trout" Quintet, with the same instrumentation. The performance never materialized, and in 2017 I revised the piece and retitled this (shortened) version "Tales After Midnight." Below is a computer playback of the score, using Finale Notation software.
The full score can be viewed on the Universal Edition website.
