Woodwind Quintet No. 2 [CF:114-41870]

Wernick's Second Woodwind Quintet was composed in November, 2016 for the New York Woodwind Quintet. “A work that makes use of the color palette of the winds to differentiate the strands of counterpoint…Wernick’s use of klangfarbenmelodie (sound-colors melody), in which the same pitch is repeated by (or traded to) another instrument was remarkable for the way in which the transfers were subtle: one could hardly tell where one instrument began and the other left off.” (Frank Daykin for New York Concert Review)
