Contrapunctus IX for Woodwind Quintet

The renowned Counterpoint n.9 from J.S.Bach's "The Art of Fugue", a masterful piece of work created at the twilight of his life as an inheritance of the craft of counterpoint, is presented here in a rendition for Woodwind Quintet (Flute - Oboe - Bb Clarinet - F Horn - Bassoon). This arrangement utilizes an array of timbre combinations unique to this ensemble. While staying true to the original, it incorporates added dynamics and expressive cues to fully capture the robust and persistent essence of the piece, while highlighting its clever construction.
