Summary Extended Description   CMP 1028 Quintet for string quartet and piano. Grade 5. Approx. duration: twelve minutes. Set includes score and five parts. This work for strings and piano constitutes the majority of the music for the Peruvian film, “La Prueba.” This movie tells the story of a young girl searching for her father, whose blood is the only kind that can save the life of her brother. After a long quest in a region of the country overwhelmed because of drought, she must face a test whose result even she was unable to anticipate. Part of the music of this four-movement work is based on the Gregorian chant, Rorate Caeli Desuper (Drop down dew, ye heavens, from above) which is combined with motifs that describe the melancholy character of the person, who in her path will discover that rain does much more than satisfy one’s thirst.
