Andalag #05 - Quartet for Flute, Clarinet, Horn and Basson (2012). Part of Andalag - Suite in 11 movements.
Parts are available: WH31437A
Programme note
Some years ago I was asked by the Faroese ensemble Aldubáran to compose duets for the woodwinds within the ensemble. The idea then came to me to write a Suite with the name 'Andalag' in 11 movements. 8movements are duets and are approximately 4 min. long. 2 movements are quartets and are approximately 8 min. long, and 1 movement is an octet which is approximately 16 min. long. In other words, the Suite will last approximately60min.
The (octet) instrumentation is 2 flutes, 2 clarinets, 2 horns and 2 bassoons.
The Faroese word 'andalag' has a multilayerd meaning. The first half of the word is 'anda' andmeans to breath or spirit, and the second half of the word 'lag' means melodi, mood or layer.
I use two small ideas in this Suite. One idea is in a sort of major mood and the other in a sort of minor mood.
