Note:
Commissioned by the Cornish College of the Arts in 2004, this quintet uses the songs motivically to build a piece with classical form that is more than a medely. For example: the first movement contains a fugue built on motives from “Eleanor Rigby” and “For No One.” Höfner Volksblat called it “…catchy…impetuous.”
