Carter Pann’s first journey into wind quintet literature creates color and excitement inspired by the mundane events of daily life. The six movements are titled: I. Americano, II. Apology, III. Adjusting the Torque, IV. Sun Spot, V. Commute, and VI. Embrace, to Sleep. Pann’s music offers clues and entices us to imagine what each movement portrays. Quintet for a Day was composed for the West Coast Wind Quintet, based in Southern California.
Quintet for a Day (2012) was written for the West Coast Wind Quintet, an ensemble of five stellar musicians residing in California. The work was begun and completed in a 30-foot diameter stand-alone yurt in the heart of Colorado wine country.I knew from the start that I wanted to write a work celebrating the mundane events in all our everyday lives. The last movement, Embrace, to Sleep was written first, and the first movementwas written last.During the writing of I. Americano I was struck by how similar its style (and that of the entire set) is to that of many works by William Bolcom. As Bill is the most important past teacher ofmy composing life I could not think of a more apt expression than to dedicate this woodwind quintet to the great man.–Carter Pann.
