Program Notes
from Symphony No. 5 (Prokofiev)
Despite each part being playable primarily with two mallets, this arrangement will likely challenge a medium-advanced ensemble. Careful attention to dynamics, articulations, and the awareness of each player’s role within the ensemble will yield a rich and very musical experience. The keyboard parts are of similar difficulty, while the non-pitched percussion parts require musical sensitivity but have not been expanded greatly beyond the orchestral originals. The fivelet 16th notes near the end should be thought of more as gestures - glissandi with specific pitches, rather than distinctly articulated rhythms. An aggressive, forward energy is recommended for all but the middle section of the piece, and players should be comfortable with dissonance to properly bring across Prokofiev’s distinctive style.
