An easy listening Piano Quintet for the same scoring as F. Schubert's Trout Quintet: Piano, Violin, Viola, Violoncello and, Contrabasso.
"Palazzo" is dedicated to the People of Mitchell, South Dakota, USA, "The Palace City". The work is conceived as a series of miniatures or vignettes envisaging the great spaces of a baroque palace. The mood is whimsical, reflecting the vagaries of the proceedings at an evening ball. It is my intention here to create a series of songs reflective of the atmosphere in each room. The program of the work runs:
Courtyard: A mock-baroque edifice confronts us as we enter the main gates.
Terrace: A surprising carnival awaits us on the steps of the terrace as impromptu dancing breaks out.
Gallery: Going into the foyer of the palace, we are confronted with some serious and moving artwork.
Reception Hall: We await our name to be called out, our heart pounds with nervous excitement.
Rose Garden: We take some time out to contemplate the transitory beauty of Nature.
Ballroom: Coming back inside, we join in the lures of the decadent waltz.
Salon: We retire then to the Salon, where the guests talk of love.
Apartments: In the private apartments the guests dance the intimate flamenco!
Hunting Lodge: In the morning, our heads clear, we take off on a pheasant hunt.
