Alevi Fathers at the Raki Table, Op. 35 (Wind Quintet). By Fazil Say. For Winds (Score & Parts). Woodwind Ensemble. Softcover. Schott Music #ED21136. Published by Schott Music.
In four short movements following each other 'attacca,' the Turkish composer and pianist Fazil Say humorously describes an everyday scene in an Anatolian village: Alevi fathers drinking raki at a well-laid table. An andantino ritornello in irregular meters returning in all movements provides the thematic context of an eventful action.
