Composed by Carson Cooman. Contemporary,Standards. Score and parts. 30 pages. Musik Fabrik Music Publishing #3035635. Published by Musik Fabrik Music Publishing (A0.533658).Jaunts (2001) for mandolin quintet (2 mandolins, mandola, guitar and bass guitar) was written for and is dedicated to the Sydney Mandolins,
with much admiration.
The work is about travel -- not long journeys or voyages -- but rather "jaunts" which the
dictionary defines as "short trips or excursions, usually for pleasure." The work explores
diverse textures within a short time-span. The piece is in four general sections: It begins with
a slow and unfolding opening leading to a moderate jaunt. This proceeds into a much faster
and driving section which ends very abruptly. The moderate pace begins again to the
moderate pace which leads finally the opening spare textures again.
The seeds of the musical material for the entire work come from the first mandolin's opening
gesture.
Aspects of the color and textures of the mandolin ensemble have been utilized by the
composer in the work, inspired very much from the hearing of countless recordings of the
Sydney Mandolins in the performance of contemporary music.
