Sheet Music: ScoreHemos Acabado : for woodwind quintet / Kara Williams.by Kara Williams (2022)
|
Product details
Spilling out onto the page over a weekend, Hemos Acabado (loosely translated as 'We're Finished') was composed for the Assai Quartet (flute, violin, guitar, and bassoon) after a comment at a performance was made that "we need a fun and original encore piece". Just so, this up-beat Latin-style work was composed for the group. It quickly became a favourite with players and audiences and was (for obvious pronunciation reasons!) subsequently affectionately nick-named the "Avocado".
This orchestration for woodwind quintet completed by the composer in 2025 captures the cheerful nature of the original work and includes percussive effects performed by the players where the guitarist tapped the body of the guitar - creating another rhythmic dimension to the work. Recorded by the Assai Quartet on the album 'Origin', the original version of Hemos Acabado is published through Four and Twenty Music, and is free to listen to on YouTube and various streaming platforms.
