Brandt’s Woodwind Quintet List – I
In concert with recent scholarship on women composers, this list now highlights their names with a different-colored background.
Iannaccone, Anthony (1943- )
Parodies (1974)
New York: C. Fischer, 1975
Duration: 8:30. Movements: Caprice; Cantilena; Intermezzo; Rag.
Parts of this work are based on sketches for a quartet from 1959, thus the title, used in the sense of a new interpretation, not caricature. See Arthur Cohn in “The Literature of Chamber Music” for more info. See also: http://www.iannacconeworks.com/

King of Prussia, PA: Tenuto Publications, Sole selling agent, T. Presser Co., 2004.

See also Ibarrondo’s sextet for quintet and piano.
Ibert, Jacques (1890-1962)
Trois Pièces Brèves (1930)
Paris: Alphonse Leduc, 1930
Duration: 7:20. A bit of a prodigy, Ibert studied violin at the age of four and then piano with his mother (a gifted pianist). He began studies at the Paris Conservatoire in 1910, where his fellow students included Arthur Honegger and Darius Milhaud. His studies were interrupted by World War I, during which he served first as a nurse and stretcher-bearer, and later as a naval officer. After the war he returned to La Conservatoire and quickly won the Prix de Rome in 1919.
Ibert’s brilliant writing makes this THE standard quintet of all time, although the music was originally written to accompany a comedy, “Le stratagème des roués.” (The Beaux’ Strategem) staged at the Théâtre de l’Atelier. I still like it but you can only play it so many times before madness sets in. Terrific for educational concerts.
See the extended article about Jacques Ibert in our Roaring Twenties Woodwind Quintet Series.
The Little White Donkey (arr. Bill Holcombe)
West Trenton, NJ: Musicians Publications, 1998
Christmas in Picardy (Noël en Picardie, 1914) (arr. John Gibson)
JB Linier Music; see Boston, MA.: Ione Press
Originally for piano, the work was written to depict a short Christmas armistice during World War I. Ibert served in the Navy during the war. Mr. Gibson has also arranged this for several other combinations. The original piano score may be downloaded from the International Music Score Library Project: http://imslp.org/wiki/No%C3%ABl_en_Picardie_(Ibert,_Jacques)
also:
Chanson du rien for woodwind quintet and “medium” voice (1930)
Paris: Alphonse Leduc
This is a brief, minute and a half, song written in 1930, from the incidental music for the comedy, “Le stratagème des roués” of 1930 (the same work that Trois Pièces Brèves came from). The original scoring was for woodwind quintet and voice. The text is by M. Constantin-Weyer. The only catalog listing for the quintet version I’ve seen is on http://www.musicsalesclassical.com/composer/work/3510/50803 . The voice and piano version is available on the International Music Score Library Project. The quintet version might be out of print.
