Farkas, Ferenc (1905-2000)

Early Hungarian Dances (Régi magyar táncok) of the 17^th Century (1953)

Budapest: Editio Musica Budapesta 1959, 1995, http://www.emb.hu/

London: Boosey & Hawkes /

Budapest, Zenemukiado Vallalat, 1959

Duration: 9:00. The Borealis Wind Quintet has a nice recording of the work.

Attractive old Hungarian dances – actually an Intrada and 4 dances: “Lassu” (Slow Dance); “Lapockas tanc” (Shoulder-blade Dance); “Chorea”; and “Ugros” (Leaping Dance). Fairly easy work, although the clarinet can fly on “Ugros” if the quintet is so inclined. Some of them are good for educational concerts — the last movement was our quintet’s school concert “theme song” for several years until we finally grew tired of it. [Andrew Brandt]

According to the composer’s website, Mr. Farkas transcribed very simple dances from tablature notation, then combined them to create more substantial movements. The website promoting Farkas’s music and publications has program notes that give the codex sources of these dances. One of the composer’s most popular chamber works, it has been transcribed into 16 other orchestrations, too.

Lovottiana (on Themes of Janos Lavotta) (1967)

Serenade (Fuvosotos-szerenad, fuvola) (1951)

London: Boosey & Hawkes /

Budapest: Editio Musica Budapesta, 1956

Dedicated to the Budapest Wind Quintet, this is another attractive work in three movements. Movements: Allegro; Andante espressivo, Saltarello. Only the finale is dance based. After one reading, this appears to be only moderately difficult. Duration: 8:50. A recording has been posted on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_Kv-gdewzc , performed by Jasper Goh, Benjamin Wong, Veda Lin, Emerald Chee and Alan Kartik. [Andrew Brandt]

Rondo Capriccio (1957) for violin solo and woodwind quintet (1959)

Melville, N.Y.: Belwin-Mills Music Publishing

Pully, Switzerland: AF Publishing (Andràs Farkas), email [email protected]

Duration: 9:00. See also: https://ferencfarkas.org/. A re-working of a piece for violin and piano, it was later also arranged for violin and orchestra. The composer uses some serial techniques in the work.

Quattro Pezzi for woodwind quintet and solo double bass (1966)

Pully, Switzerland: AF Publishing (Andràs Farkas), email [email protected]

Duration: 9:00. Movements: Intrada; Scherzo; Petit Poème, Rondo. See also: http://www.ferencfarkas.org .

According to the composer (translator not credited): As a youngster, my son Andràs played the double-bass. In 1965 I composed this work, “Quattro pezzi”, for him. A year later I rewrote the original piano accompaniment for wind quintet, and it has become established in this form. A playful, rhythmic “Intrada” is followed by a “Scherzo”, in two- and three-beat phrases to add more colour. There follows a lyrical intermezzo called “Petit Poème”. The fourth movement is a “Rondo”, with two couplets: at first “fugato” and then “ostinato”. [This young Andràs now publishes his father’s works that were not published by EMB or other houses, including this work.]

Gyümölcskosar (Fruit Basket) song cycle for soprano and wind quintet (1980)

Budapest: Editio Musica Budapesta 1959, 1995, http://www.emb.hu/

Based on poems by Sándor Weöres. Text is originally in Hungarian, with versions also in German and French. Duration: 15:00. 12 songs: Movements (in Hungarian, German and French, respectively): 1) Gàspàr / Kaspar / Bastide; 2) Làdika / Das Zauberkästlein / Le pot de fer; 3) Marasztalàs / Sonnenstrahlen / Supplication; 4) Falusi reggel / Dorfmorgen / Le coq et l’âne; 5) Mondòka / Veilchen / Violette; 6) A köbéka / Der Steinfrosch / Le crapaud; 7) Altatòdal / Wiegenlied / Berceuse; 8) Szàncsengö /Schlittenschellen / La cloche du traineau; 9) Békakiràly / Froschkönig / Le roi des grenouilles; 10) A tündér / Das Elflein / La fée Bòbita; 11) Paprika Jancsi szerenàdja / Hanswurst-Serenade / Sérénade de Pierrot; 12) Déli felhök / Mittagswolken / Dans les nuages. Translations of the text in Hungarian, French, German and English are available on the website, http://www.ferencfarkas.org .

According to the composer: The “Lullaby” to celebrate the first birthday of my son Andràs forms the first melody of the “Fruit Basket”. This cycle of children’s poems is full of humour and delicacy of feeling, sometimes even reminiscent of a grotesque, which makes such poems equally delightful for adults. There thus arose twelve melodies to match this cycle of very short songs with the following characteristics: the curious march of “Kàspàr” (Punch); the fabulous world of the “Magic Box”; the tenderness of “Sunbeams”; the sound of bells in “Morning in the Village”, where a cock crows and a donkey brays; the tranquillity of the forest where “Violets” are hidden. Abstraction and humour are found in the “Stone Frog”; charm in the lyricism of the “Lullaby”; gentleness in the sound of the “Sleigh Bells”. In a watery world there reigns the “Frog King”; while the “Little Elf” dances with the angels; and the “Hanswurst” (Harlequin) Serenade rings out in jocular and sad vein. Together a whole row of wonderful appearances all find their epitome in the concluding “Midday-Cloud”.

Her full name was Jean-Louise Dumont Farrenc. She was a student of Hummel and Reicha. Movements: Adagio – Allegro; Andante con moto; Scherzo, vivace; Adagio – Allegro.

According to Adam Lesnick (of International Opus), “[T]he Nonetto in E♭ is similar to the Beethoven Septet and the Schubert Octet, featuring solo lines for all of the instruments. The premiere of the Nonetto featured legendary 19-year-old violinist Josef Joachim and catapulted Farrenc to near celebrity status as a composer….”

The arranger notes: “I have made a conscious decision to retain the original key of the piece (F# minor) and woodwind solos. Look out for the interesting tone colours when the flute plays in its lower registers with higher unison passages by the oboe or the clarinet. This decision to put the flute in its lower register is also made to help ensure that the other woodwinds have a chance to lead the melody as well.”

Suite en estilo antiguo, Op. 16, for woodwind quartet, horn and trumpet (1930)

Duration: 15:00. Movements: Preludio; Gavota; Sarabanda; Rondo. ¶ There is some difference of opinion on the scoring for this work. Encyclopedia.com says it is a woodwind quintet. Wikipedia says it also includes trumpet. The Library of Congress Ficher Collection doesn’t give the instrumentation in its list of Ficher’s manuscripts and Grove Music Online doesn’t even list this composition. The only solution is for somebody go to the Library of Congress , get a copy of the manuscript score and parts, and see what’s there. ¶ Jacobo Ficher was son of a trombonist in the Odessa Philharmonic Orchestra but trained as a violinist, eventually entering the St. Petersburg Conservatory. Later, the Ficher family, which now included Jacobo’s wife, Ana, a pianist, left Odessa to escape famine and persecution, first to Poland and, in 1923, Argentina, home for the rest of his life. ¶ Holographs of several drafts and versions of this work are in the Jacobo Ficher Collection of the Library of Congress in Washington, DC. (See the link above.)

Fillmore, Henry (1881-1956)

The Circus Bee (arr. Bill Holcombe)

W. Trenton, NJ: Musicians Publications /

Chesapeake, VA: Bill Holcombe’s Musicians Pub’s (http://billholcombe.com/)

“The Circus Bee” march was named after a fictional circus newspaper. Henry Fillmore was a noted composer of circus and marching band music, including many marches. He also wrote under the pseudonyms Gus Beans, Harold Bennett, Ray Hall, Harry Hartley, Al Hayes, Henrietta Moore and Will Huff (the last to the consternation of the real Will Huff who also wrote circus marches). Quintet arrangers might look at more of his works for inspiration. His various biographies online make great reading, even as they differ.

London: Boosey & Hawkes

New York: Boosey & Hawkes, Milwaukee, Wis.: Distr. by Hal Leonard, [2004] 1951

Introduction and Theme (Allegro moderato); 2. Variation (Poco vivace); 3. Interlude (Adagio); 4. Gigue (Allegro); 5. Coda (Lento assai). Duration: 14:00.

Reviewed by the New York Times: “Slightly acerbic, but with touches of humor and a lively sense of dialogue, this wind quintet’s contrasting sections cover a great deal of ground with wit and concision.”

Fiorillo, Dante (1905-?1995)

Jig and Reele

Manuscript

Grove Music Online says that although Fiorillo was a fairly productive composer early in his career, after 1950 he abandoned public musical life (perhaps running an antique shop instead). He might have never been published and manuscript scores are scattered among many libraries; he is accused of passing off some other works as his own. The death year of 1995 is supposedly reported by relatives and friends, with 1945 and 1970 also possibilities.

Förster, Emanuel Aloys (1748-1823)

Quintet (arr. Verne Reynolds)

San Antonio, Tex.: Southern Music Co., 1974

Duration: 8:00. Arrangement of a string quintet. Movements: 1. Allegro vivace; 2. Andantino; 3. Menuetto; 4. Poco presto.

An Austrian composer who straddled the transition from the pre-Classic period to early Romanticism, Förster was known to Haydn and Mozart and influenced Beethoven, who recommended Förster as a composition teacher. He started his career as an oboist in the Prussian army during the final two years of the Seven Years’ War, but this did not appear to inspire him to write for wind ensembles. I’ve found no evidence that he ever wrote a woodwind quintet, nor any Harmoniemusik. An 1802 Octet for oboe, horn, bassoon, violin, viola, cello, bass and piano might be of interest to players exploring the transition from Classical to Romantic periods (it could pair well with Beethoven’s Septet first performed in 1800), but you might need to locate the manuscript source.

Frackenpohl, Arthur Roland (1924-2019)

Amazing Grace / Precious Lord Medley

Portland, Oregon USA: Editions VIENTO

A “set of free variations on these two beautiful hymns where the melodic content is passed around from instrument to instrument over freshly composed counterpoint and harmony. The result is a beautiful, slowish, reflective composition. Very lovely.” – Reviewer Ron Klimko (The Double Reed, Vol. 24, No. 4)

Various Frackenpohl arrangements of works by other composers are scattered throughout this list under the composer’s names.

Passacaglia and Fugue on a Well-Known Theme (1952)

Portland, Oregon, 1999

The “Well-Known Theme” is “Happy Birthday.”

Ron Klimko says the “whole work is a humorous romp. The tune enters in as the ground bass / passacaglia theme in the bassoon in a slow, pseudo-somber set of variations. The tune is passed around from instrument to instrument in the following variations, finally appearing with short sections of it passed in “Klangfarbenmelodietechnik” à la Anton Webern from one instrument to another in the final variations. The following fugue theme is also ‘Happy Birthday,’ but with distorted rhythm. This is again given vigorous contrapuntal treatment and builds to a loud climactic-albeit humorous conclusion.” (The Double Reed, Vol. 24, No. 4)

Suite

Bryn Mawr, Pennsylvania: Elkan-Vogel (now Theodore Presser)/

Portland, Oregon: Editions Viento, 2001 (see Trevco Music)

Nice arrangement, especially for the bassoonist.

When the Saints Go Marching In

Portland, Oregon USA: Editions Viento (8711 SW 42^nd Ave., Portland, OR 97219)

Ron Klimko says this work “is more a freely composed work based on the familiar tune, rather than a mere arrangement or transcription of it. It is very rousing and again would probably make a fine encore piece for a recital program….” (The Double Reed, Vol. 24, No. 4)

Franzl, Ignaz(1736-1811)

Quintetto ex F (Quintet in F Major) (arr. T. Donley Thomas)

Bellingham, Washington: Medici Music Press, 1985 /

The manuscript is in the music library of the Cisterian monastery of Schlierbach in Upper Austria.

Library catalog entries for this work all list T. Donley Thomas as “Editor” of this work. Also, the Medici edition lists this as the “Urtext premiere publication.” But the downloaded Medici Press catalog lists him as the arranger, which is different than an editor. If this was an original quintet by Franzl (who died in 1811), it would pre-date those of Reicha and Danzi and would raise questions of why a minor composer (but a noted violin virtuoso) like Franzl would suddenly and uncharacteristically write a single work for woodwind quintet, his only work for any wind ensemble. Since T. Donley Thomas was a scholar of the Classical Period, an unknown woodwind quintet before 1811 would have been a real musicological find, but nothing is mentioned of this. Much, much more likely is that the original score was for string quartet (or perhaps a work for flute and 3 strings) and arranged for woodwind quintet by Thomas. I concur that this is an arrangement and not an original work for woodwind quintet. [ Andrew Brandt ]

From a review by C.R.G. (Instrumentalist – November 1993): “Skillfully scored for the standard woodwind quintet, [it] is a rollicking, freely conceived rhythmic study that incorporates some improvisation and a hint of the jazz idiom. The dissonant writing style suggests an aleatoric approach, which is consistent with the rhythmic format. Freedman’s writing focuses on individual instrumental colors more so than fuller combinations. Here is a colorful recital piece for college-level ensembles.”

British Music Information Center, http://www.bmic.co.uk/

Tranparency available at Toronto: Canadian Music Centre

I have been unable to confirm whether the correct title is “Wing Quintet” or if it is a typo that has been repeated from the original listing.
N.B. The British Music Information Center says that Freedman’s “Second Wind Quintet” is scored for alto sax, tenor sax, baritone sax, clarinet, flute and oboe which, if my basic math skills haven’t degraded, adds up to six performers, not a quintet, and certainly not a traditional woodwind quintet.

Editions Bim, http://www.editions-bim.com/

Earlier published by the composer; see http://www.garyfriedmanmusic.net/

Flute doubles piccolo; oboe doubles English horn. Based on Grimms’ fairy tale. The composer has also written a number of woodwind quartets and quite a few woodwind octets, too.

The composer says, “This is a musical depiction of the Grimms’ fairy tale with changed names of musical instruments (e.g., lute to clarinet). I listened to animal sounds on the internet and tried to imitate them musically where called for. Catherine Sutton and Ruth Friedman helped me edit the story. There were two performances in 2013. To my delight, the piece was performed in July 2015 in Bismarck, ND by the Missouri Valley Chamber Orchestra Woodwind Quintet and may be heard on YouTube. The link is https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ck9T8ZltTiw. The performers were: Debi Rogers, narrator, Marnie Kraft, flute, piccolo, Trudy Fraase Wolf, oboe, English horn, Rhonda Gowen, clarinet, Krystal Laskowski, French horn, Erika Tuntland, bassoon.”
