Brandt’s Woodwind Quintet List – Keyboard & Winds

This page features works for winds and keyboard, mostly four to five winds of a woodwind quintet along with piano (plus a few works using other keyboards, such as harpsichord, organ or even accordion). A few add another performer or two or more, and a few works for three winds and piano may have crept into the list under the cover of late-night darkness. I’ve tried to avoid works where the keyboard is just an orchestral reduction, but that might still be a performance option.

In concert with recent scholarship on women composers, this list now highlights their names with a different-colored background.

Alexander, Elizabeth (1962- )

Interior Music for piano and woodwind quintet

Order from the composer: Seafarer Press,1245 Ashland Avenue
St. Paul, MN 55104 or http://www.seafarerpress.com/works/interior-music

Duration: 10:00. All the movement titles are excerpted from various poems: 1. …the interior music, waking; 2..…it mambos the blue volts through my body; 3. …all your bones humming and buzzing; 4. …behind the ribcage, the gears that won’t give up; 5. …the heavy grooves keep turning. Do not confuse the composer with the poet Elizabeth Alexander.

The composer writes: “The music in this five movement work alternates between asynchronous waves of sound and that with a steady pulsing – the music of breaths and heartbeats which our bodies create by the simple act of living. The movements’ subtitles are short excerpts from four American poets who explore the ‘interior music’ of our bodies. The fourth movement, subtitled …behind the ribcage – the gears that won’t give up may be performed separately, as a short scherzo.”

F

Falconi, Alfonso(1859-1920)

Sextet, Op. 60 for woodwind quintet and piano

This work was performed by the Boston-based Longy Club in 1908. Reviews were decidedly mixed. the more favorable one by a reviewer Elson, for the Advertiser: “Falconi did not attempt a falcon’s flight at the beginning and the first three movements might have been a conservatory student’s prize composition, but the finale was very much better. It contained a bit of fugal work (six-voices we believe) that was finely worked out. At no time did the composition become radical, and at all times it was well worth hearing, but, as intimated, its power, like that of a wasp, was in its end.” [From “The Longy Club, Season Nine, 1908-1909” from whitwellessays.com].

Farrenc, Louise (1804-1875)

Sextett in c-Moll, Op. 40 für Klavier und Bläserquintett (1851-52)

Kassel: Furore, 1996?

Duration: 26:30. Movements: I. Allegro; II. Andante sostenuto; III. Allegro vivace. An easy search in YouTube will find an excellent performance by the Omega Ensemble with pianist Kathryn Selby (in separate videos for each movement).

An excellent, neglected work, this sextet would pair well in a recital with the Mozart or Beethoven Quintets for winds and piano (which preceded it), or with Ludwig Thuille’s Sextet (which followed it). Louise Farrenc was the first woman appointed professor of piano at the Paris Conservatoire, and the piano part is appropriately virtuosic without overshadowing the winds. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Grosvenor Place, N.S.W.: Australian Music Centre

One flutist doubles on piccolo. Duration: 7:00. There appears to also be a version for 4 bassoons and piano.

The composer writes: “The title refers to the continuous stream of energy flowing between the five instruments, mostly streaming upwards. The rhythm is in groups of 5, with hiccuping accents on different parts of these groups. There is a slower, more melancholy middle section which has quiet intertwining lines disturbed by more aggressive interjections. The mood then returns to that of the beginning.”

Françaix, Jean (1912-1997)

Duration: 7:00. The 1947 version appears to have been for orchestra; there also appears to be yet another version for 8 winds and piano arranged in 1972.

As one would expect from Françaix, this is a light-hearted, very active, challenging work that audiences enjoy. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Hannah, Ronald (1945- )

Rag-Sextet for woodwind quintet and piano (1972, rev. 2014)

Toronto: Canadian Music Centre, http://www.musiccentre.ca/node/22081

3 Movements: Lively; Andante con moto; Freely moving, not fast. Duration: 12:00. Second movement is scored for woodwind quintet without piano. A synthesized recording, the score, and expanded notes are available: https://ronhannah.com/ragsext.php .

The composer writes: “‘Rag-sextet’ is an early work, full of the vitality of youth, and reflecting my continuing love of Ragtime and Boogie-Woogie piano music. It probably owes more to the boogie tradition than to strict ragtime, but ‘rag-sextet’ rolls off the tongue more easily. The music slips smoothly and often between the two styles. In addition, it features bows to more academic styles: there is a raggy fugue in the first movement; the second is a more abstract study, perhaps a little sinister but still influenced by the popular styles; and the third contains a section of pure dissonant jazz, and a short tip of the hat to an Alberti-bass classical style of playing.”

It is a fine example of Harris’ distinctive style with colorful polychordal harmony and engaging, subtly jazz-influenced rhythms.”

Suite for Piano Trio and Woodwind Quintet (2000)

Copy in the University of Nevada, Las Vegas, in the music library

It appears the work is for woodwind quintet, piano and double bass, although that doesn’t completely explain the ‘Piano Trio’ part of the title. Stefan Karlsson is a jazz pianist, but there’s no comment on whether these movements are jazz inspired. The work’s first two movements are Prelude; Kristallen den fina plus an arrangement from Chopin’s C-Minor Prelude, Op. 28, No. 18 (arranged by Karlsson) as the finale.

Centering (1984) for double woodwind quintet and piano

Available for download from the composer, at no cost, from carletonmacy.com

Duration: 20:00.

The composer writes: “Centering begins with players spaced around the audience and concludes with the ensemble centered on stage. The piece is performed without an conductor until the final movement. The metaphor of spatial centering is extended to the musical material which progresses from atonal to key-centered tonality. Movement 3, ‘Pavane: Gathering,’ is based upon ‘El Bison’, an anonymous Renaissance dance. Parts are available upon request.”

Offenbach, Jacques (1819-1880)

Les Deux Aveugles (The Two Blind Men) for woodwind quintet and piano

Editions Marc Reift

This work is based on the one-act comedic operetta about two con men presenting themselves as blind men. There’s no indication in the listing about which part or parts of the operetta are included, but it’s unlikely the entire work is transcribed. (There’s also no indication about it being arranged, but it seems unlikely Offenbach did it himself.)

Onslow, Georges (1784-1853)

Sextet in E-flat Major, Op. 30 (1825) for Flute, Clarinet, Horn, Bassoon, Bass, and Piano

Leipzig: Breitkopf & Härtel, ca.1825

Four movements: 1. Introduzione. Largo – Allegro vivace assai; 2. Menuetto. Allegro; 3. Andante con Variazioni (theme and 5 variations); 4. Finale. Allegro. Score and parts available for download from the International Music Score Library Project: http://imslp.org/wiki/Sextet,_Op.30_(Onslow,_George)

Sextett, Op. 77bis (1848) for piano, flute, clarinet, bassoon, horn and double bass

Koln: Fr. Kistner und C.F.W. Siegel & Co.

Paris: Heugel, 1972

Edition Silvertrust, http://www.editionsilvertrust.com

This sextet is Onslow’s own arrangement of his Nonet, Op. 77, which was scored for woodwind quintet and violin, viola, cello, and bass. Curiously, this version was published before the Nonet in 1851, becoming known as the Grand Sextour. Onslow also later wrote yet a third version of the work for piano and strings.

Septet in B-flat Major, Op. 79a “Grand Septet” (1849) for woodwind quintet, double bass and piano

Leipzig: F. Kistner (ca. 1852)

Movements: Allegro moderato; Scherzo: Vivace; Andante – Molto cantabile e grazioso; Finale: Allegretto. Duration: 35:30. (Op. 79bis is for strings and piano.) Parts and score available for download on the International Music Score Library Project website: http://imslp.org/wiki/Septet,_Op.79a_(Onslow,_George) .

A recording on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lLSorLyOxzQ reveals this to be a substantial and attractive work. ¶ One repertoire list, apparently succumbing to an wheezy spelling checker, calls this the “Grand Septum,” which suggests a very nasal interpretation. [ Andrew Brandt ]
