Corrupio (score & parts) - WW5

Corrupio

for woodwind quintet: flute, oboe, clarinet, horn, and bassoon

by Heitor Villa-Lobos (1887-1959) - Brazilian composer

This is an arrangement for wind quintet of the 1933 piece originally for strings and bassoon, which is available in that version from Editions Viento. This one movement piece of approx. 3 minutes is typical Villa-Lobos, full of energetic drive and colorful harmonies. A good opener, closer, or encore!
