Nocturne - Pentalude is a composition for solo piano by composer Godfrey Schroth.About the Composer:Because of its unusual metrical and melodic structure, I have appended the subtitle Pentalude to emphasize its reliance on the number five. This piece had a prolonged gestation from the initial thematic sketches two years ago. I kept returning to it periodically and discarding many ideas. There were many possible approaches which I had to explore and reject, many roads I took and had to retrace my steps. - G. SchrothAbout the Composer:Godfrey Schroth (1927-2017) was a pupil of the noted American composer, Paul Creston. Mr. Schroth first came to attention in 1959, when his Piano Quintet won the LADO Foundation Prize for chamber music, premiered in New York by the Phoenix Quartet. Many published choral and organ pieces followed and A Solemn English Mass was the first vernacular setting sung at St. Patrick's Cathedral. In 1973, on a grant from the NJ Arts Council, he wrote Rocky Mountain Serenade for Strings, Percussion and Guitar for the Pueblo (Colorado) Arts Festival. In 1979 he completed Green Graves and Violets, a vocal chamber cycle, which celebrated the writings of a forgotten Civil War poetess, the tragic Ellen Howarth. The Mystic Trumpeter, a work for chorus and wind instruments on a Walt Whitman text, was commissioned by the Pro Arte Chorale and received its premiere performance in March 1999.Mr. Schroth’s compositions span a period of more than 40 years, and show the influence that travel and poetry had on his writings. Godfrey’s lifelong dedication to music and piano education led to his inclusion in the International Dictionary of Musicians and recognition in Who’s Who in American Music.
