arrangements

Canon (arr. by Don Stewart)

Trillenium/Dorff ?

Canon (arr. Daniel Dorff)

Bryn Mawr, PA: Theodore Presser, 1985

Canon in D (arr. Robert Wall)

Salem, CT: Cimarron Music Press cimarronmusic.com

Canon in D (arr. Ray Thompson)

Published by the arranger; see Boston, MA.: Ione Press

The arranger states, “Arranged for wind quintet in the original key of D. Alternative Clarinet in Bb provided. I have attempted to give the wind players somewhere to breath, by dovetailing the melodies between all the instruments. The bass line is shared amongst horn, clarinet and bassoon.”

Canon in D (arr. Frank Halferty)

Kendor Music Inc.

Although Pachelbel’s famous Canon is a nice piece, the quintet world doesn’t really need five (or more) arrangements of it. Pachelbel also wrote a lot of other more substantial music that deserves to be known. (Granted, until this site, probably nobody knew there were so many versions.) Arrangers, please travel beyond the obvious, if you can. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Pádua, Newton (1894-1966)

Bläserquintett

Newton Pádua was a Brazilian composer and teacher, which makes the title in German slightly strange.

Pagan, Michael (1958- )

Impromptu, Chorale and Fugue (1984)

New York: American Music Center

This work won first prize in the New Music for Young Ensembles 1984 Composers Competition. Pagan is mainly a jazz composer, with a few works for non-jazz ensembles. See https://www.michaelpaganmusic.com . Not to be confused with the actor and screenwriter, Michael J. Pagan.

According to press quotes on the composer’s website, Tim Page, in the New York Times, described a performance of this work as “Bright, modest neoclassicism… played with energy and flair.”

Fanfare for double woodwind quintet

Bucureşti: Editura Muzicală [Bucarest: Editura Muzicala], 2014

Pałłasz, Edward (1936-2019)

Bajki: na kwintet dety (Fairy tales: for wind quintet) (1972)

Krakow: Polskie Wydawnictwo Muzyczne, 1976

Duration: 11:30. Includes performance instructions in Polish, English and French. If searching, note that in some European languages “woodwind” and “brass” instruments are sometimes lumped together into one term (like English “winds”) which leads to some confusion. This work clearly is a woodwind quintet.

Marchen

Recorded by the Da Camera woodwind quintet of Warsaw on Diepholz, Proviva label in 1985. It is possible that this is a movement of the previous work.

Palmer, Lauree H. (1965- )

The Classic Quintet (1990)

Palmer, Robert(1915-2010)

Quintet (1951)

New York: Independent Music Publishers, 1951

Not to be confused with the American writer Robert Palmer (1945-1997), who also has an article in Grove Music Online. Nor should this woodwind quintet be confused with the composer’s quintet for clarinet, piano and strings.

Palmieri, Dante(1987- )

Lotmarii (2012)

Duration: 7:00. Bassoon doubles on contrabassoon. See: http://www.toxpub.com/DantePalmieri . If that link no longer works, contact the composer on LinkedIn.

The brief score excerpt suggests that the work is intended for the novice to intermediate woodwind quintet.

There seems to be some difference of opinion whether Paribeni died in 1960 or 1964, with most reliable resources saying 1964.

Ron Klimko, in a review in The Double Reed, described the recording as “a tour-de-force romp. It is a five-movement ‘…appreciation of the talent, originality and exuberance of the early jazz musicians working in New Orleans and on riverboats on the Mississippi.’”

Boulevard

Oakham, Rutland, United Kingdom: Brass Wind Publications

Movements: Street Band; The Beggar’s Dog; Ladies at Lunch; Death of an Organ Grinder; Three Cheers for the Band.

The work is based on the storyline: “A boulevard at lunchtime in a city. A streetband appears, playing a lively piece. A beggar and his dog are sleeping on the pavement The dog wakes up and ignores the band but his attention is drawn to an organ grinder playing a sad song in another part of the street. He goes to investigate but soon gets bored, returns to his owner and falls asleep again. Further along the street two ladies are having lunch and are having a serious conversation about their children, their husbands and the results of an expensive but triumphant morning spent in the shops. The organ grinder is still playing his sad melody but appears to be having respiratory trouble. This gets progressively worse until finally he expires on the pavement and departs to the great organ grinders’ convention in the sky. There is consternation and sadness from the assembled crowd but life goes on. The band strikes up a fast number with a Latin beat and a hat is passed round for contributions. The crowd is generous with its applause but is suddenly afflicted with myopia and deafness when asked for money.”

Parkinson, Tim (1973- )

Quintet (1997)

British Music Information Center,

Duration: 15:00. Requires clicktracks. Composer’s website: http://www.untitledwebsite.com/ (Yes, really, that’s the website’s name.) Mr. Parkinson appears to have a habit of using generic names for his titles, including untitled(a), untitled(b), etc. Hence the generic titles of his website and of his woodwind quintet. Counterintuitive from a marketing perspective.

also:

untitled winter 2002 (2002) for flute, English horn, clarinet, bassoon, trombone and violin

From the composer? See https://www.untitledwebsite.com/work

Lancaster, UK: Phylloscopus Publications, http://www.phylloscopus.co.uk/ (no longer in catalog but I would ask them to check their archives)

Premiered in Cardiff, Wales, May 14, 1971. Although born in London, he made Wales his adopted home and insisted on being considered a Welsh composer and teacher. Perhaps a Welsh musicologist could help find the scores and parts for these works?

Somethin’ Stupid Flexible Wind Quintet

London: Boosey & Hawkes, www.boosey.com

The flexibility is in instrumentation, where each of the parts can be performed by a variety of wind and brass instruments. See boosey.com for a list of all the possibilities.

Nonet in B-flat, Op. 70 (1877)

Siegertshofen, Germany: Floricor Editions, 2005 http://www.floricor-editions.com/

Amsterdam: Edition Compusic, 1988

For flute, oboe, English horn, 2 clarinets, 2 bassoons, 2 horns. Movements: I. Allegro; II. Allegro Molto (Scherzo); III. Largo; IV. Finale. Duration: 24:12.According to the publisher, this is “a symphonic work with cyclic distinctions; built on themes that echo the music of Wagner’s Mastersingers of Nürnberg.” Recorded by Capricorn on the Hyperion label in 1987.

Written before the Dvořák Serenade (1878), Richard Strauss’s Serenade in E^♭ for 13 winds (1881), and Gounod’s Petite Symphonie (1885), the only Romantic model Parry had for wind ensemble writing was Brahms’s Serenade, Op. 16 (1859) for winds and lower strings (which he studied intently), and possibly some influences of Schumann and Liszt. Parry considered the Nonet as experimental. Although he apparently prepared the score for a performance, probably for players of the Crystal Palace ensemble, it was never actually performed until 1937, well after his death. See the Hyperion website for excerpts, purchase the recording, and to read the program notes by Jeremy Dibble. I think the work is well worth performing for 1. the music; 2. as a baseline illustration of the progression of wind writing through the nineteenth century, and 3. as possibly the earliest examples of English Romanticism and wind writing.

My musical Mensches (Menschen?), if you are looking for 21^st century works to add to your quintet’s repertoire, you are a schlemiel if you don’t go to the composer’s website, listen to this work and read the program notes. ¶ Seriously, this is a high-energy work that is well crafted, original and entertaining. It might help if your clarinetist has a bit of experience with klezmer style for the final movement. Highly recommended for the professional quintet. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Suite for Double Wind Quintet

Movements: Allegro con brio; Scherzo and Respite; Andante Cantabile; Theme and Variations.

From the YouTube sound files it is clear that Peppercorn is playing homage to the 19^th century harmoniemusik tradition. There is a somewhat odd-sounding realization of the work on YouTube, beginning at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJUPV9_brIk. (It sounds like a better-than-average synthesized realization. Or an oddly recorded ensemble that never breaths and plays in perfect keyboard pitch.) [Andrew Brandt]

Percival, Richard (1953- )

The Sweet Suite: Five Confections for Wind Quintet (2011)

Australian Music Centre: http://www.australianmusiccentre.com.au/

According to the composer, “These short pieces for wind quintet are fun and humourous in character. Ranging from a miniature Scherzo through to a Rag to an extended set of Waltz Variations they cover a range of 20^th century styles and influences. They are designed to be as much fun to play as to listen to and contain challenges both rhythmic and stylistic for the ensemble.”

Perlongo, Daniel(1942- )

Grožnjan Souvenir (1999)

New York: American Composers Alliance, see https://composers.com/daniel-perlongo

Duration: 10:00. Premiered November 12, 1999, by the Zagreb Wind Quintet at the 36^th International Music Festival in Pula, Croatia.

The composer describes the genesis of this work: “Grožnjan Souvenir for wind quintet is a work in one movement. The title refers to my stay in Groznjan, Croatia, a medieval Istrian town, where in the summer months the little streets and squares metamorphose into an artistic beehive. I was invited there in the summer of 1999 for a music seminar as a guest of the Zagreb Music Academy. I dedicated the piece to the fine musicians and good friends I had the fortune of meeting that summer: Frano, Zlatko, Zrinka, Volker, Vieko, Jerko, Boris, and Gorjana.”

Perry, Julia Amanda (1924-1979)

Quartette [sic.] for Wind Quintet (1963) for flute, oboe, clarinet,
alto sax, and bassoon

New York: American Music Center (out of print?)

Yes, the title says Quartette and it’s for five instruments. Although Ms. Perry wrote 12 full-sized Symphonies, this chamber work appears to also be known as her Symphony No. 13. A PDF reproduction of the manuscript score is available for download.

By all accounts, Perry was a very determined student. She received a Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from Westminster Choir College (in New Jersey), studied two summers at the Berkshire Music Center, and studied with Luigi Dallapiccola and Nadia Boulanger. As an African-American woman composer, she was, therefore, a pioneer on several fronts. After a stroke, she taught herself to write (words and music) with her left hand. There’s a lot of musicological research that still can be done on this composer. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Pastoral, Op. 21 (1943)

Premiered in 1945.

Duration: 6:00. The Pastoral is a fairly easy one-movement work for quintet. It is nostalgic American in style (quasi-Copland-esque). It can be good for student quintets and as a short piece for professional recitals. There are numerous amateur and professional performances available on YouTube. [ Andrew Brandt ]

I was unfamiliar with Pijper’s music before recently listening to his 1929 Quintet and his Sextet for woodwind quintet and piano, written in 1923. Whereas, in Vienna, Schoenberg developed his 12-tone technique, which he considered the logical next step from hyper-romanticism, Pijper, in Holland, offers an alternative in his use of extended polytonality instead of atonality.

See also: http://www.wernerpirchner.com/4DACTION/web_searchwork (Editor’s note: I can’t decide whether the entire piece’s description (see below) is serious, tongue-in-cheek, or pure fiction. (I’m tending towards pure fiction.) I’ll let you decide for yourself. Or not. – AB)

In 1975, I was asked by the composer, graphic artist, film maker, and radio writer Bert Breit to do the music for a film about Tyrol which he was making with Otto Grenmandl. After the appearance of the LP “Half a Double Album” and the short film “Decline of the Alpine Country” I wanted to cencern myself with more positive aspects of our tradition and wrote variations on a slave song whose dialect text translates roughly as follows: “I don’t want to look after a cow. I don’t want to look after a pig. But I’d love to look after a horse. I could climb on. I could ride away. I could lead the life of a lord.”
In the early 1980s I set the little piece for wind quintet and composed three more brief movements, one of them
in memory of Heinrich Heine. The first performance took place on October 22nd, 1984 in the Schubert Hall of
Vienna’s Konzerthaus in the first concert of the series “die neue reihe”. Perhaps my father, who was
a waggoner, would have liked the music. A picture of him appears on the cover of the score. — Werner Pirchner

Four Brazilian Songs, Op. 31 (1998)

Premiered by the Arta Woodwind Quintet (Munich). Duration: 10:15. Selected to the ISCM World Music Days 2000 Festival and performed by the Arta Woodwind Quintet of Munich in Luxembourg, on October 2000. A recording of the premiere performance is available on SoundCloud.

Commentary on the SoundCloud site (likely by the composer): This piece uses a twelve-tone idea (8-10-3-5-0-2-9-11-6-4-7-1) that smoothly disappears and gives place to Brazilian northeastern modal music (Dorian for minor, Lydian+Mixolydian for major). The series comprises two pentatonic scales separated at a tritone of distance, and a tritone at the end. The two first songs remind music used in the southern part of Brazil (rationalism), while the two last songs are associated to the northeastern region (intuition). Thus, these two forces alternate throughout the piece.

Naquele Tempo (arr. Airton Barbosa)

Duration: 3:44. Recorded by Quinteto Brasília. The original recording by Quinteto Villa-Lobos is now available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/Az9ScQGHEDs .

Naquele Tempo by Pixinguinha with Benedito Lacerdo

It’s unclear whether Benedito Lacerdo was a co-composer or arranger of Naguele Tempo, but he’s listed in the Quinteto Villa-Lobos 1977 recording of this work. See our Cracked Reed Blog post on Quinteto Villa-Lobos for a link to an online recording. Duration: 4:00.

The work begins with “the tune” as a flute solo, then the oboe and clarinet do their own versions. Pixinguinha was noted for his Choros and his collaborations with Benedito Lacerda. Bassoon and horn play a Latin accompaniment. [Andrew Brandt]

Segura Ele (by Pixinguinha / Benedito Lacerda)

As with Naquele Tempo above, it’s unclear whether Lacerda is co-composer or an arranger of this work. Recorded in 1977 by Quinteto Villa-Lobos. Probably arranged specifically for them. The recording by Quinteto Villa-Lobos is now available on YouTube at https://youtu.be/Az9ScQGHEDs .

Features solos for flute, clarinet, and oboe. It’s a lively, rhythmically complex, busy, fun work. [Andrew Brandt].
