I need recs for INSTRUMENTAL music (no lyrics, or at least not in English) written in some form of quintuple meter: 5/4, 5/8, something more arcane, whatever. Songs which are only partially in such a meter are acceptable, though, y'know, not some complicated jazzy thing where it's like a measure here and three measures there and so forth; I'd like it to be recognizably quintuple without following along on the score to see where it changes.

Hello, there! I was sent here by bookblather. There's two I can think of--the second movement of Tchaikovsky's Pathetique symphony. Sometimes described as a drunken/limping waltz; and the third movement of Chopin piano sonata #1 (in c minor). I'm less familiar with the Chopin, so I'm not 100% sure how obvious it is, but he didn't do a lot with changing meter IIRC.

Hope this helps!
