Description: This work for mallet quintet by Albert Davis is an intriguing blend of classical and contemporary. Taking three short works that J.S. Bach wrote as teaching exercises for his son Wilhelm Friedman Bach, Bach-Atcha masterfully interweaves robust Bach influences with modern flair, creating a captivating experience for both performers and audiences. In each movement, the obligato melodies can be heard in true “Bach” counterpoint, giving each of the performers a challenging, yet satisfying part that is at once, independent, yet still dependent upon each other. A must-have for ensembles seeking to diversify their repertoire with a touch of sophistication and innovation. Movements: 1. Sinfonia in D minor; 2. Sinfonia in D Major; 3. Sinfonia in E minor.
