Composed by Domenico Gallo. Arranged by Ray Thompson. Baroque,Chamber,Classical. 11 pages. RayThompsonMusic #1018160. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.1438084).

Arranged wind quintet

This music was originally attributed to Giovanni Pergolesi, as they were so described in a Mr R. Bremner's original 1780 London publication. They were also arranged later by Hugo Riemann, and were again wrongly attributed to Giovanni Pergolesi.

It is actually the 1st movement of Domenico Gallo's 1st Trio Sonata in G.

It was used by Igor Stravinsky as a basis of the first movement (Sinfonia) of his Neo Classical Ballet Pulcinella.

The Pulcinella Suite for small chamber orchestra and 3 vocalists which was derived from the ballet, was written in 1922 and has no vocal parts. 

This is the original music he used as the basis of the Sinfonia.

But even though Stravinsky used Gallo's (Pergolesi's) melodies and bass lines with little change, he managed to put his own unmistakable stamp on the music through his use of modern harmonies and occasional rhythmic modifications.

My arrangement is of the the original Gallo piece:

The only change I have made is to move the bar lines so that my piece starts, as does Stravinsky's, with a quaver pickup, rather than Gallo's half bar and a quaver pickup.

My arrangement is entirely in 4/4 using Gallo's classical/baroque harmonies.

It does not sound too dissimilar to Stravinsky's which sadly will be in copyright for many years.

Arranged wind quintet

The original baroque music used by Igor Stravinsky for his ballet Pulcinella was originally attributed to Giovanni Pergolesi, as they were so described in a Mr R. Bremner's original 1780 London publication. They were also arranged later by Hugo Riemann, and were again wrongly attributed to Giovanni Pergolesi.

However Most of the original music is by Domenico Gallo (including the Finale of the suite), one or two are by Giovanni Pergolesi (including the Menuetto)

The Pulcinella Suite for small chamber orchestra and 3 vocalists which was derived from the ballet, was written in 1922 and has no vocal parts. 

This is the original music he used as the basis of the Minuetto/Finale.

But even though Stravinsky used Gallo's and Pergolesi's melodies and bass lines with little change in the earler movements of the Suite he managed to put his own unmistakable stamp on the music through his use of modern harmonies and occasional rhythmic modifications.

However in the Menuetto and Finale he changes things considerably, with more dischordant harmonies and rhythm changes.

My arrangement is of the the original two pieces:


My arrangement  uses Gallo's/Pergolesi's classical/baroque harmonies.

Composed by Domenico Gallo. Arranged by Ray Thompson. Baroque,Holiday,Wedding. 11 pages. RayThompsonMusic #4283761. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.553769).

This music was originally attributed to Giovanni Pergolesi, as they were in a Mr R. Bremner's original 1780 London publication and also arranged by Hugo Riemann, and again wrongly attributed to Giovanni Pergolesi.

It is actually made up of 3 different pieces: Gallo's 2nd Trio Sonata in Bb. Mvts I and III, and Trio Sonata No 8 in Eb.

All 3 Gallo mvts were used by Igor Stravinsky in the 3rd mvt. Scherzinoof his Neo Classical Pulcinella Suite.
There is few bars joining the 3 mvts...one is Stravinsky's own, one is from a Pergolesi Opera.

The Pulcinella Suite for small chamber orchestra and 3 vocalists which was derived from the ballet, was written in 1922 and has no vocal parts.

But even though Stravinsky used Pergolesi's(which were in this case Gallo's) melodies and bass lines with little change, he managed to put his own unmistakable stamp on the music through his use of modern harmonies and occasional rhythmic modifications.

I have used transcriptions of the original pieces, but have transposed them into the keys used by Stravinsky. I have included the original Pergolesi Aria as the first link, and a scale passage of my own for the second.

My arrangement is in the same format as Stravinsky's so is a complete work.

I have another upload with the 3 separate movts in their original keys.

This arrangement is interesting to play and  do not sound too dissimilar to Stravinsky's final work.

It is arranged for clarinet trio (2 Bb and bass)
