Mussorgsky - Night on Bald Mountain for Wind Quintet (Score and Parts)

Modest Mussorgsky - Night on Bald Mountain, arranged for Wind Quintet by Joachim Linckelmann. Modest Mussorgsky’s Night on Bald Mountain (Eine Nacht auf dem kahlen Berg) is a vivid orchestral tone poem depicting a wild witches’ sabbath on a mountaintop. It opens with frantic, swirling triplets over an ominous melody, evoking the rise of dark, supernatural forces. The music grows increasingly frenzied, capturing the chaos of the demonic revelry. Suddenly, the frenzy dissolves into calm as dawn breaks, and the spirits vanish with the light, bringing the piece to a haunting, subdued close. Score and Parts included.
