Two motets by Carlo Gesualdo arranged for brass quintet by Peter Maxwell Davies.

This is a full score, and the parts are also available on sale. An ebullient piece, in a simplified yet still very distinctive harmonic and rhythmic style arranged for brass quintet.

Davies's feeling for the potency and bravura of the clarinet goes back to works of the 1960s; his concerto for the instrument is predictably a big, ranging piece, in two linked movements. The first, f...
