Rothbart, P :: Two Modern Motets
Rothbart, P
TWO MODERN MOTETS (2005) for wind quintet, by Peter Rothbart, was written while he was intensively studying sixteenth century motets.
Intrigued by the contrapuntal nature of the genre, with its simultaneous interconnectedness and independence of the lines, the composer wrote the first movement, alla Stile Antico, with this in mind. The second movement, alla Stravinsky, was influenced by Rothbart's long-time fascination with Stravinsky's neo-classical works. In particular, he was inspired by Stravinsky's extraordinary sense of balanced form, combined with modern rhythms and melodies.
The two movements of this exciting quintet complement one another beautifully. Two Modern Motets makes a brilliant concert feature as well as an impressive contest piece. Duration: 4 minutes, 30 seconds.
