Schubert's Trout Quintet: Piano, Violin, Viola, Violoncello and, Contrabasso. Palazzo is dedicated to the People of Mitchell, South Dakota, USA, The Palace City. The work is conceived as a series of miniatures or vignettes envisaging the great spaces of a baroque palace. The mood is whimsical, reflecting the vagaries of the proceedings at an evening ball. It is my intention here to create a series of songs reflective of the atmosphere in each room. The program of the work runs: Courtyard: A mock-baroque edifice confronts us as we enter the main gates. Terrace: A surprising carnival awaits us on the steps of the terrace as impromptu dancing breaks out. Gallery: Going into the foyer of the palace, we are confronted with some serious and moving artwork. Reception Hall: We await our name to be called out, our heart pounds with nervous excitement.
