The Karma Quintet
Davide Zannoni
About this work:
A quintet in three movements. The two outer movements are fast, rhythmical and energetic, with different interlocking patterns, odd-time signatures and passages in rhythmical unison. The slow central movement has a more intimate and lyrical character. It emphasizes the mallet instruments (marimba, vibraphone, glockenspiel and antique cymbals) and has a four-mallet cadenza for the marimba. Medium to high difficulty. Premiered by The Oberlin Percussion Group, (Oberlin, OH 2002).
