SKU: JB.18210
Composed by Douglas Briley. Score and set of parts. Duration 19 minutes, 25 seconds. Published by Jabez Press (JB.18210).Commissioned by the 2002 Texas Music Teachers Association Commissioned Composer program, this romantic, single-movement quintet reflects on the emotions evoked in the hearts of Americans in the aftermath of September 11 "without being maudlin or morose" (Fort Worth Star-Telegram, March 7, 2003). A serious and demanding work for piano, two violins, viola, and cello, Quintet for a Healing Nation shows Brahmsian harmonic influences, yet with thematic treatments and structure exercised by more modern composers.
Also available in a CD/DVD recording by the Adkins String Ensemble (#98201), this publication comes with a complete piano score and separate parts for each performer.
