Description
This curious composition in five time which explores some of the ideas of canon or fugal writing was originally written as a response to a challenge in the online group "La Musique Petite" back in the late 1990s. I have since tidied it up and made it into a quirky journey in five time (hence "Quintaquirk").
The harpsichord part can be played by an electronic keyboard.
The zip file contains score and parts.
The sound sample is an electronic preview.
