Technically devised for a string quintet subtype including two violas (which unfortunately still get porbably eclipsed by the violins), this one got wild with the voice crossings. Since it was conceived as a instrumental canon from the very start, I doubt that might be a problem, specially considering the caveats of 5-voice counterpoint. But I suspect the digital performance might not be able to fully capture potential friction points to be expected with rampant voice crossings within such a dense contrapuntal scaffolding, so any criticism concering that aspect of this composition is more than welcome.

Enjoy!

Despite the digital instruments, it sounds great.
Before listening to it I thought that adding a fifth voice to a counterpoint didn't make much sense in principle. But in this case it does add content. Very clever to start with such dissonance, one on top of the other, as it works well as a delay.
I liked it very much.

 

 

Feliz Navidad.
