Annotated Bibliography of Double Wind Quintet Music
Created and maintained by Catherine Gerhart
This is a bibliography of music for double wind quintet (also called decet, dectet, decimette, dezett, or tentet)
and related works. The first section consists of music for the most common interpretation of double wind
quintet, namely 2 flutes (or piccolo(s)), 2 oboes (or English horn(s)), 2 clarinets (B flat or A), 2 bassoons, and 2
French horns. Click on the alphabet at the top of the page to move through the list which is arranged
alphabetically by the composers last name. Following that section are five smaller lists of related titles. For
instance, the standard dwq plus a solo instrument; the basic dwq plus an additional one or two instruments
(often extra horns or a trumpet or two), etc. Links to these related sections can be found at the end of this
introduction. There are many double wind quintets plus string bass. Sometimes the extra bass is essential and
sometimes it can be, with little detrimental effect, left out. When I determine that an okay performance is
possible without it, I put the citation in both the main list and the supplemental one. Same for when the other
instruments are optional, they will go in both places.
Each citation varies somewhat because of the information that I've been able to find, however, what I've tried to
include in each one is:



hot links to a biography of the composer or I write one myself if there isn't one on the Web,
a complete bibliographic citation including title, place of publication, publisher name, date of
publication, and series;
length of the piece,
names of movements,
description of the piece including the difficulty level if it can be determined,
information about the commissioning of the piece, who premiered it and when, and any recordings that
are available,
and, links to distributors where people can obtain the piece.
Site created and maintained by Cate Gerhart. Currently this is a work-in-progress and is being edited as often as
possible, sometimes daily! I would love to hear from anyone using the site concerning what they found helpful
or not, and what information they might like to have that isn't there. Special thanks to Paul Schlossman who has
kindly shared with me information about recordings of some of the pieces below that he has in his extensive
collection of wind music recordings.
before an entry indicates that I own a copy of the piece, or, know someone that does and can answer
questions about the piece if they aren't answered in the bibliography.
Site first appeared on the WWW June 21, 2005, last edited January 29, 2011. At last count, lists about 360 for
regular dwq and about 127 pieces for related instrumentation.

"Composed originally for a centenary concert of the Morley College London, 1984. First performed:
June 1st 1984 Morley College Wind Group, conductor, Lawrence Leonard"--Page [68] in composers
hand.
Duration: 28 min.
Manuscript resides in London in the British Music Information Centre. In that copy pasted to the inside
cover is a typewritten note listing the movements and giving the following information:
Prelude and choral (using the ensemble as a whole)
Concertino (Five variations in the shape of three arias and two ritornelli, featuring solo instruments or
groups- oboe solo two horns- flute soli- cor anglais and bassoons- clarinet and bass clarinet, soli.
Antiphony (Finale in which the ensemble is divided antiphonally into two wind quintets.
"Note: Vista was composed for an amateur group of performers. The wind group or 'serenade' was
typically a baroque instrument of entertainment, and it suggested the possibility of an essay in a classical
style, which the composer was anxious to deploy as a reaction against a number of years of composition
mainly in somewhat complex serial methods of the post-Webern era. The nostalgia for a work using
classical methods of constructive symmetry was compared by the composer, in the programme-note of
the first performance, to an architect who had been working for years in steel and concrete looking
through the trees at a vista of Kenwood House on Hampstead Heath, and wishing for an opportunity of
building something, even on a small scale in that style."
Arp, Klaus, 1950Tentett / Klaus Arp.

Commissioned by Landesmusikakademie Rheinland-Pfalz and premiered in 1997 by a group of young

Baker, Lance, 1947Blow the wind southerly : double wind quintet / arr. Lance Baker.
[England] : Tickerage Press, [1992?].
Subtitle on 1st page of music: A virtuosity for double wind quintet. "For the Rondel Ensemble"--At head
of caption title.
Lance Baker is the son of Ruth Gipps and clarinetist Robert Baker. He plays horn and composes.
Tickerage Press was Lance's mother's own publishing company. This piece was originally written as a
companion piece for Gipps' Wind sinfonietta which also has an optional tam tam part which Lance
played as first horn of the Rondel Ensemble. Interestingly, when this was performed the two horns sat in
the middle with a wind quintet arrangement on either side.
Doubles on piccolo (flute 2), English horn (replaces the 2nd oboe), alto sax (only when clarinet in A
isn't available to the clarinet 1), bass clarinet (clarinet 2), and the horn 2 plays the optional tam tam.
While this piece is partly variations on this folk song, it is also partly new material. A fairly difficult
piece only playable by professionals and very good amateurs.
Duration: about 15 min.
This piece is also listed in the British Music Information Centre directory with the title "Double wind
quintet on Blow the wind southerly".
Premiered in about 1995 by the Rondel Ensemble, a group of professional musicians of which the
composer played 1st horn.
In addition to the score of this work the British Music Information Centre also lists a recording of this
work by the Rondel Ensemble.

The British Music Information Centre has a recording of this piece which I listened to on 22 October
2007. I'm not absolutely certain because the cataloging is a bit strange, but I think the recording is of
Music Projects London at St. John Smith Square, there's not a date but there is clapping on the tape so it
was a live concert. It begins very stridently and dissonantly in the first movement but in the second and
third movements the piece takes a more consonant and melodic direction. The third movement is playful
with the various instruments playing off each other like a game of tag.
Duration: 14 min.
Manuscript score and parts are held at the BBC Library. I have not had a chance to follow up and verify

Beaumont, Adrian, 1937Concerto for double wind quintet / Adrian Beaumont.
Isle of Lewis, Scotland : Vanderbeek and Imrie, Ltd. (15 Marvig, Lochs, Isle of Lewis, Scotland PA86
9QP), 1967.
Written in 1967 and premiered by the Bristol University Orchestra wind section. It was subsequently
substantially revised in 1998 for the Wind Ensemble of the Wells Cathedral School but was never
performed in it's revised form.
This piece is neo-baroque in spirit and the two quick movements use ritornello form, with the ritornellos
being played by all ten instruments and solo sections being scored for a variety of smaller groupings.
The Andante is largely fugal. The general idiom of the piece is expanded tonality, with all twelve notes
used freely with no distinction between major and minor but always with a tonal center.
Not terribly difficult, playable by a good amateur group.
Duration: 17 min.

Since there isn't a good biography to link to on the Web, here's a short bio: Adrian is from Yorkshire,
England. He studied music at the University College in Cardiff, graduated in 1958, master's in 1961, and
doctorate in 1972. He is an oboist as well as conductor and composer. He conducted the Bristol Opera
and founded the Bristol Bach Choir which he conducted until 1978. He was on the staff of the Music
Department of Bristol University from 1961 to 2002 and is a frequent conductor of its' Symphony
Orchestra and Choral Society as well as the New Music Ensemble. Married to Janet Price (soprano)
since 1963, he's written many pieces for her, as well as pieces for other genres with the exception of
opera. Retired since 2002, he spends time gardening and fell-walking when he isn't composing.

This piece is a romp through the musical periods (starting with cavemen), using "Yankee Doodle

Spring".
It was written for and performed by the U.S. Air Force Band of the West Chamber Players. They
performed it on many concerts with much success.

Ancona, Italy : Berben, c1988.
This lovely piece features the oboe. It is a one movement work that moves through a number of moods.
The first 16 bars are a slow introduction following by a lengthy middle section at a quick tempo. After
this middle section in duple meter, it moves to the ending in a triple meter which begins slowly but then
speeds up for an exciting fast ending.
Written in October 1988 and dedicated to "amici dell'Ensemble di strumenti a fiato "Ch Gounod" dell
Orchestra da Camera de Pesars".
I haven't timed the piece yet but it between 5 and 10 minutes long.

There isn't a biography on the Web, but I found an obituary for Orrin that reads: Orrin James "Fess"
Blattner of Saratoga, 88, died Feb. 23 of heart failure. Blattner received his bachelor's and master's
degrees from San Jos State University. He bought his home in Saratoga in 1954, where he lived for 52
years. Proficient on more than 20 instruments, Blattner taught music at Los Gatos High School from
1944 to 1977, and arranged many works. He was a member of the San Jose Symphony, both as a
trombone player and as the assistant conductor. He was also president of the San Jose Musicians Union
Local 153 from 1959 to 1987. He was a bandleader all throughout his adult life, including the Gem City
Jazz Band in the Bay Area and the Colorado River Jazz Patrol in Arizona.

This arrangment has an optional contrabassoon part. Also the 2nd flute doubles piccolo.
Variations and a fugue on a theme by Handel was originally written for piano and is based on the
Handel tune Harmonious blacksmith which is originally the Aria con variazioni from the 2nd collection
of the Suites for harpsichord. Tony has chosen to arrange those variations that suit wind instruments the
best without departing too much from the original, so the piece is somewhat shorter than the original.

I don't see a biography of Brauer on the Web so here's what I could find about him. He was born in
Mannheim on May 9, 1855 and died in Karlsruhe on December 2, 1918. He was primarily a conductor
and had studied with Vincenz Lachner and a variety of people at Cologne University. In 1880 he
conducted the Cäcilienvereins at Kaiserslautern and in 1888 Hofkirche at Karlsruhe wher he founded a
Bach Society in 1905. He also wrote operas and string music.

Burrell, Diana.
Lucid / Diana Burrell.
[S.l.] : United Music Publ., 1999.
Duration: 6 min.
Commissioned by Bedfordshire Orchestra Society, and performed by the Bedford Sinfonia in January
1999.
Lucid alternates between gentle, predominantly chordal music, and a wilder, sometimes harsh and more
linear style. Sometimes the ten wind players function as two separate wind quintets, one group echoing
the other's phrases or adding colour to a particular moment in a paragraph. At other times, they function
as a more homogenous group. Throughout the piece, all players are of equal importance, the second
player having material that is as demanding as the first.
Lucid is a purely abstract piece of music, inspired by nothing but the clear, colourful sounds of wind
instruments, and the forms and textures of music itself. Its title, with its connotations of light and clarity,
is simply the first of the four words at the top of the score which direct the performers as to the style of
the first section - 'Lucid, gentle, but lively'.
Burton, Jonathan, 1950Some different carols : for wind decet / traditional, arranged by Jonathan Burton.
2007.
This piece was written for Jonathan's quintet, who every Christmas gets together with another quintet for
a decet session with mulled wine and mince pies. They play the Raff Sinfonietta which they love and a
few other things, finishing up playing rather terrible quintet arrangements of Christmas carols, two to a
part. The players always wanted to know ' Why can't we have some different carols?' so at Christmas
2007 Jonathan turned up with this piece. The first flautist was having a 60th birthday, so the last
movement is a surprise for him (written in such a way that he can't see what's coming). When Jonathan
mentioned this last bit to me and should he delete the birthday bit, I said he should leave it in since, after
all, it is a birthday that we celebrate at Christmas so it makes sense to have it there.
Duration: ca. 11 minutes.
Christmas carols arranged in eight movements:
1 - The Mediaeval One (Gaudete)
2 - The Basque one (Ator, ator)[erroneously listed as `Atoz, atoz'-my mistake]
3 - The French one (Il est n, le divin enfant)
4 - The Old English one (The Coventry Carol)
5 - The One About The Holly (from Cornwall)
6 - The Other French one (Nous voici dans la ville)
7 - The Other Mediaeval One (The Boar's Head Carol)
8 - The Very Traditional One (Dies natalis tibi felicitatis)

Badinages : (1975) for double wind quintet / by Mary Chandler.
Lancaster, UK : Phylloscopus Publications, c1992.
1 score (19 p.) + 10 parts ; 30 cm.
Pictures from life at a music center including scales and tuning. Suite written to celebrate the removal of
the Kent Music School Tonbridge Centre to more commodious premises in 1975. A piece not to be
taken too seriously, it depicts, somewhat wryly, and with special references to wind teaching, the history
of the original music centre from its foundation in 1962.
1. Les gammes: Scales are the foundation of wind playing; they progress from tentative examples in
simple keys to arpeggios and chromatics and a triumphantly secure conclusion.
L'accord: Intonation-always a problem. This slow movement is preoccupied (not entirely successfully)
with finding a true oboe A.
Les eaux: In 1968 the Centre became disastrously engulfed in the river Medway after a rainfall of 8.5
inches in 16 hours. The Scherzo depicts the drama of this.
Le déménagement: The Finale represents the triumphal procession to the splendid new premises, not
without nostalgic backward glances.

Elmer, Roderick, 1947The inn on the heath / by Roddy Elmer.
Originally written in 1980 as an historical music play for voice and piano. Later parts of the musical
were rewritten for double wind quintet. It is very tonal with the music descriptive of the moods in the
play. The tunes are singable by 11 year olds.
This piece was played by various groups at the summer school at Little Benslow Hills, Hitchin,
Hertfordshire. Later, in 2002 part of the suite was played by New Harmonie in Horsham, Sussex.
Duration, ca. 30 min.
Roddy studied music at Manchester University, taught in schools in London and Kent, and has a special
interest in the Kodaly method. He plays the horn and piano and writes compositions for string orchestra,
choral works, a string quartet and many works for wind ensembles and chamber groups. He lives in
north London and teaches Junior School. He plays badminton, rambles on the weekends, assistant leader
in the Scouts and organist on Sundays.
Roddie is really busy now, but someday he hopes to have time to make his music available... stay tuned.

variations vary as well, some in G major and other related keys.

Gorb, Adam.
French Dances Revisited / Adam Gorb.
G.& M. Brand, 2004.
Commissioned by a Consortium of USA High Schools. Premiered in Minneapolis, Minn. in November
2004.
Duration: 15 min.
This piece was originally conceived during an exercise Gorb set for his students, which was to write a
variation for double wind quintet on the Bach keyboard prelude in C, BVW 939. He subsequently took
this same prelude and used it as a basis for a kind of Baroque suite for the same combination. The six
movements of the work follow the model of the Baroque French suite. The first movement is an
Overture featuring an angular introduction followed by a fugato in 5/4 time, followed by a stately
Allemande led by flute and bassoon, a lively Courante in fast triple time, a mournful Sarabande
featuring solo oboe and horn and a Gavotte that also pays homage to Neo-classicism. The piece ends
with a Gigue, which makes much use of canonic writing. This piece has a certain degree of flexibility in
the instrumentation, the two horn parts can be played on saxophones, the second bassoon can be played
on a bass clarinet and the oboe 2 part on a clarinet.

Graubart, Michael, 1930Sinfonia a 10 / Michael Graubart.
1984.
For 2 flutes, oboe, English horn, clarinet, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons and 2 horns.
This is an atonal, serial piece of music in three movements. It is technically difficult and very difficult
rhythmically. It definitely needs a conductor. The group it was written for at an Adult Education college
had a reputation for excellence in music (director of Music there included Gustav Holst and Michael
Tippett as well as Graubart), so, though the wind group was nominally an amateur one, it was a pretty
expert amateur one and included some students at music colleges.
Dedicated to Lawrence Leonard and the Morley Wind Group, it was premiered by them in 1985 at the
October Gallery in London with the composer conducting.
Duration: 8 min.
I. Resoluto -- II. Molto allegro -- III. Lento
Michael Graubart was born in Vienna in 1930 and came to England as a refugee in 1938. He studied
physics at Manchester University, but spent most of his time there composing and playing the flute. He
graduated in 1952 and worked as a development engineer in electronics at EMI and then as a teacher and
lecturer in maths and physics while studying composition with Mtys Seiber and flute with Geoffrey
Gilbert, playing the flute and conducting various amateur and professional choirs and orchestras. In
1966 he became a tutor and conductor at Morley College in London, and from 1969 to 1991 he was the
Director of Music there. He also worked as Musical Director of Focus Opera Group and held the post of
Adjunct Professor of Music at the London centre of Syracuse University (U.S.A.). From 1991 to 1996
he was a Senior Lecturer in the School of Academic Studies at the Royal Northern College of Music in
Manchester, taught in the Extra-Mural Department of Manchester University and conducted choirs in
the North. He retired in 1996, though he still does some teaching, lecturing, composing and writing. For
many years now he has studied philosophy at the Mary Ward Centre and at the City Literary Institute.

This is the second of three concertinos written by Mr. Green, the other two are for different instruments.
It is an atonal piece with sections that are played through with no stops. It is rather difficult so players

South London while Anthony was a student there and was played only in rehearsals so has never had a
public performance.

Cloister music : for double wind quintet, opus 8 / by Michael Gryspeerdt.

1 score (31 p.) + 10 parts.
This piece was originally written for the wind players of the Gloucestershire Symphony Orchestra. The
first performance was in a serenade concert given in the Cloisters of Gloucester Cathedral on 24th June
1988.
The piece has four movements, Prelude, Caprice, Scherzo, and Rondo.
This piece is not terribly difficult but we found it much more satisfying to play it with a conductor
because of the tempo and time signature changes. A good amateur group could do it, or possible a very
good high school group.
Although not currently being distributed, copies can be obtained by contacting Jeremy de Satge at

Hanchet, Pat.
The Only Blonde in the World / Pat Hanchet.
P. Hanchet,
"The Only Blonde in the World" is based on the painting by Pauline Boty (1938 - 1966) which is in the
Liverpool Tate Gallery. It is intended to be within the technical grasp of an amateur ensemble and is
"flexibly" scored, with the aim of using as wide a variety of clefs, keys, transpositions as possible within
the group. Each player reads from the same stave, but imagines (or writes in ) a different clef and key
signature.
The picture shows a glamorous young Blonde stepping out as if to perform or meet her public. Her head
and upper torso exude confidence but her high-heel shod and spindly legs look wobbly and fragile.
The music starts on one instrument, soft and low, slinky and slow. As the each instrument enters, faster
and higher than the previous one, and in a different key, we sense her increasing unease until the music
becomes frantic. Gradually the mood changes back from neurotic to erotic as she presents herself in the
appropriate manner.

1 scores (4 p.) + 12 parts.
Järnefelt is a finnish born composer who was active as a conductor and composer in Sweden. His sister
married Sibelius and consequently Armas became a frequent performer and expert on Sibelius' music.
This piece is an arrangement of his piece for small orchestra. There are many arrangements of this piece
and this one is delightful. Excellent encore, or, for opening a program.

Kimpton, Geoffrey, 1927Sinfonietta for double wind-quintet / Geoffrey Kimpton.
London, England :BMIC, 1967.
This piece was originally written to be submitted for a competition but wasn't finished in time. It was
performed, nonetheless, successfully in the 1960s.
Not an easy piece, it is bolder in style than other pieces by Kimpton.
Kimpton was born in Lincoln, England in 1927 and Geoffrey Kimpton was born in Lincoln, England, in
1927. He became interested in music very young while listening to great singers and instrumentalists
who performed in the Cathedral and in churches and halls during and shortly after the war. For two
years in his early teens he travelled to Huddersfield for inspiring lessons from the great Yorkshire violin
teacher Arthur Kaye. He also studied harmony and counterpoint with Dr. Gordon Slater, the Lincoln
cathedral organist. After National Service, he studied in London at the Guildhall School of Music.
Alfred Nieman, his composition teacher, had the Midas touch in transforming simple beginnings by his
magical improvisations. There followed two memorable years at the Vienna Academy, then back to
London, and Birmingham. The music of Andrzej Panufnik, for two years conductor of the City of
Birmingham Symphony Orchestra, was a great inspiration and influence. In the early 1960s, Geoffrey
and his family settled in Manchester, and he has had a varied career as an orchestral player (in the BBC
Northern Orchestra, now the BBC Philharmonic), as a lecturer, violin teacher and composer. Over the
years, various works for instrumental ensemble (some with voice) have been performed in Manchester,
Birmingham, Cheltenham and St. David's Cathedral. These include a Passacaglia and Fugue for string
orchestra, a quartet, a string trio and several larger scale chamber works for strings and wind
instruments. He has written many songs for competitions and concerts organised by the English Poetry
and Song Society. Several of these have been awarded prizes, and have been performed in Bath, Bristol
and Manchester.
Various works of his have been recorded: 'The Upland Path' for solo violin, 'The Bridge of Hope' for
violin and piano (in three movements), 'Serenade' for clarinet and piano (in four movements), and three
songs, as part of a CD arranged by the North West Composers' Association. His latest recording is a
double CD of twenty-eight of his own songs, performed by five splendid artists. The poems he has set,
on the theme of 'Love and Loss', contain a wonderful variety of human experience: from rural
contentment to hopeless longing and mental anguish, assuaged only by the muse of poetry; from witty
analogies to a simple and sincere vow of lifelong fidelity; and to the tragic loss of young lives in
warfare.
While the Sinfonietta is not published, it is available from the composer, who can be reached at:

Langley, James W., 1927-1994.
Sinfonia for ten wind instruments / James Langley.
1967.
1 score ([54] p.) ; 42 cm. + 10 parts ; 35 cm.
One flute doubles on piccolo.
This piece appears to be unpublished since the only copy I've found is a reproduction of the manuscript
that resides in the Eastman School of Music Library. There isn't a mention of this piece in either the
BMIC or the BL even though Langley is British. No idea how Eastman ended up with the only copy to
be found. However, the Wind ensemble literature, 2nd ed., rev. 1975 / by Reynolds ... [et al.] says that
the Composers Guild of Great Britain has a copy so I'll check that out.
I didn't find a nice biography page to link to for Langley, but I did find an interesting page for a
memorial trust set up after his unexpected death. The James Langley Memorial Trust page indicates that
Langley was a music producer at the BBC and was devoted to the Midlands Youth Orchestra where he
served in many roles, including music director.
Lanning, Jerry, 1944Jerry is British composer/arranged who began his career working in musical theater. He then began his

Larsson, Martin Q., 1968Basho winds / Martin Larsson.
2003.
For flute, piccolo, oboe, English horn, clarinet in A, bass clarinet, 2 bassoons, 2 horns.
Written between September 2002 and October 2003.
Duration: ca. 12 min.
The composer notes say: The Basho Trilogy is inspired from texts by Matsuo Basho who lived in Japan
during the 17th century and who is regarded as the master of haiku (or hokku), an epigrammatic
Japanese verse form in 17 syllables. In the piece there are no written dynamics and very few phrase
marks. It is the composer's wish that the ensemble on its own works these parameters out, according to
their own likings. The movements may be performed separately or together.
Basho 1 (Stand still! A dagger-thrust against the cliffs. Voices of the Cicadas) (3 min.)
Basho 2 (On a withered branch. A crow has stopped. Twilight in autumn) (3 min.)
Den hemlighetsfulla mumien (The mysterious mummy) (6 min.)

Loeb, David, 1939Dezet for winds / David Loeb.
1987.
Premiered November 19, 2005 by Kaleidoscope Wind in London, England.
The Dezet was composed in 1987. It has a fairly traditional four-movement form. There are very few
solo passages, and these tend towards being quite short. The pairs of instruments figure very
prominently, whether in unison, parallel motion, or various kinds of counterpoint, with the purpose of
distinguishing this piece from more conventional wind chamber works for one each of several kinds of
instruments.
Duration: 15 min.
1. Allegro non troppo 2. Adagio 3. Allegro con forza 4. Allegro

Menuet badin : pour instruments à vent / G. Mellin.
Paris : Evette & Schaeffer, [18--?]
I have found two additional sources that indicate this was published by Andraud which was bought by
Southern.
In the publication Wind chamber music by Barbera Secrist-Schmedes, this is listed as by "Melin, Bengt"
who she says was born in 1928 and was published by Southern Music but Southern has never heard of
this piece and I think the composer is actually G. Mellin. The Free Library of Philadelphia hold a dwq
with this title and they list the composer as G. Mellin. I've been in contact with them and they have
verified that the instrumentation is standard dwq with no doublings. The FLP have an engraved set of
parts published in Paris by Evette & Schaeffer, they think sometime in the 1800s. I think this is more
likely to be the correct composer for this piece. I'm seeing now if I can get a copy to look at. If anyone in
the Philly area would like to help, e-mail me!

Navok, Lior, 1971Tetris : for ten wind players / Lior Navok.
2010.
For standard double wind quintet with no doublings.
Written for the Hindemith Woodwind Quintet and commissioned by the Hochschule fur Musik, Mainz
with kind support from the Annie Eisler Lehmenn Stiftung. Premiered in November 2010 in Leipzig.
Lior reflects on his impressions of NYC, on one hand the constant movement and things happening and
on the other hand the many tragedies for unfortunate people. The piece consists of four connected
sections: Keep moving, Gutter People, Getting busy and Keeping busy. The first and fourth movements
refer to the continuous, breathless pace of life. The third movement is a short satire about restless
people. The second movement is inspired by the thousands of people who spend all their life in the
cellar of a restaurant or shop after immigrating from far away, only to serve the ever-hurrying people
above them.
Duration: 18 min.
Four connected sections:
Keep moving -- Gutter people -- Getting busy -- Keeping busy.

North, Roger, 1926Double quintet / Roger North.
1951.
This piece was written in 1951 when North was a student at the Royal Academy of Music. At the
moment the composer does not have a copy of the piece since in 1951 he gave it to a colleague that was
interested in performing it and never got it back from that person. So, while it is not available at the
moment perhaps someday it will turn up in an archive or library somewhere or, more likely, in
someone's attic! If it ever turns up perhaps we'll be able to see how it stood the test of time.

Duration: 21 min.
I. Intrada -- II. Sonata -- III. Intermezzo -- IV. Antifon -- V. Rondo finale.
On the t.p. verso of the manuscript examined at BMIC on 22 Oct. 2007 there is suggested programme
note:
The Intrada consists of a series of brief duets for the paired instruments punctuated by chorale-like
passages for the instruments so far introduced; it culminates in a short phrase of the three chords which
will form the basis of the Rondo in the fifth movement, but which here poises the music before leading
directly into the next movement. Sonata. The melodic ideas presented in this introduction are closely
related to each other by depending exclusively on a single untransposed form (and its retrograde) of the
twelve note row on which the whole work is based.
The second movement is Sonata-like in its use of themeatic contrasts, recognisable development section
of overt transformations of the material, recapitulation and coda; it even retains a shadow of tonal
structure in the manipulation of the transposition chosen for various thematic events.
In the lightweight Intermezzo, material for the paired horns functions as a trio-like interpolation in the
main texture and the slow Antifon tends to exploit various groupings of the ensemble including verselike recitatives for solo instruments. These two movements are the only ones employing the auxiliary
instruments, piccolo, cor anglais and bass clarinet.
The 5/8 phrase which runs throughout the Rondo-Finale is not so much a settled rondo theme as a
variable idea seeking resolution, which is eventually finds in the final bars, revealing its relationship to
the ending of the Intrada; the various episodes are extended versions of the brief duets with which the
instruments were originally introduced at the beginning of the work. B.D.O.

Duration: ca. 6-7 min.
Doubles piccolo, English horn, bass clarinet and contrabassoon.
Not an easy piece, would need conservatory ability players to do it justice.
The style of work is hard to describe but the composer has some mp3s of some of his pieces on the Web
that you can listen to at: http://www.itp.nyu.edu/~dhp1. What I listened to reminded me of using music
to evoke colors of sound, not much melody. Reminded be of the music often heard in movies where a
mood is trying to be created without a melody getting in the way of the action.
Might be availabe from the composer, he's looking for it at last contact.

1 score + 10 parts.
Composed in 1873 in Wiesbaden without a dedication.
Movement one, in greatly modified and expanded binary form, features a lovely, asymmetricallyphrased chorale melody (3+5) that is developed with excellent counterpoint and orchestration. The
scherzo-like second movement is a rollicking Tarantella in compound time and quasi rondo form. The
lyrical third movement, in rounded binary form (ABABA Coda), has a repeated section dramatically
cast in the parallel minor mode. Movement four is an instrumental whirlwind in modified sonata form
requiring virtuosic playing throughout. (Note by Robert J. Garofalo from the CBDNA Website)

Saunders, Matthew, 1976Sinfonietta / by Matthew Saunders.
M. Saunders, 2002.
For standard double wind quintet with no doublings.
Basically tonal, using traditional melodic techniques with some mixed and assymetrical meters in the 1st
and last movements. The second movement is a stylistic tribute to British composer Malcolm Arnold
and borrows a formal-harmonic plan common to his English and Scottish Dances.
Four movements: I. q=108 -- II. Homage a Malcolm Arnold -- III. q=104 -- IV. q.=80.
Premiered November 3, 2004 by a group of Ohio State University students conducted by the composer
and coached by the bassoon teacher at OSU, Christopher Weait.
Originally written for an amateur group in Dayton, Ohio, it was composed during the summer vacation
from teaching public school. Matthew had been exposed to this medium while at University of
Cincinnati but being a trombone player could only get "in on the action" by composing. The group he
originally had in mind for the piece did not end up playing it, so it didn't get its premiere until two years
later when Matthew returned to school to get his graduate degree in composition.
The Malcolm Arnold connection was inspired by Matthew's experiences with that neglected composer's
music, especially a recording project in which he participated in during the Spring of 2002 with the
Sinclair Community College Community Wind Symphony in Dayton, Ohio.
Suitable for a good amateur group or better. A professional group might well be able to perform it
without a conductor.
Duration: ca. 11 min.

Spittal, Robert.
Consort for ten winds / Robert Spittal.
New York : Boosey & Hawkes, 2005.
(Windependence)
This is a beautiful three movement piece now available in published form from Boosey. Originally
written in 2000 it has previously only been available from the composer. This piece could be played by a
good high school group as well as being a good work for professional players. The piece is melodic,
with interesting harmonies and good parts for all 10 voices. The second movement has a somewhat more
difficult first flute part which would require a more advanced player than the 2nd flute part. Very few
tempo changes within movements which makes this piece possible to do fairly well without a conductor.

Sketches on themes by Ned : for chamber wind ensemble / Robert Spittal.
Spokane : Shaba Road Music, 2007.
Commissioned in the summer of 2005 and premiered at a private party on September 9th, 2005 this
piece was a special gift from the author of this bibliography to her husband, Ned Gerhart on their 25th
wedding anniversary. The piece is based on melodies that Ned has written over that past few years for
piano. Bob Spittal has woven three of Ned's melodies into a piece played with a break, including a
section for improvisation in the middle.
Perhaps a bit more difficult than the Consort but very playable by any group of good players. This piece
more than the Consort needs a conductor. Bob did some revisions in 2007 and so what it now available
is the revised version.

Taylor, Alan.
Lugubrian dances : for double wind quintet / by Alan Taylor.
[S.l.] : Alan Taylor, 2006.
Four dances that reflect the folk music of the small province in southern Albania called Lugubria.
Lugubria is a small province in southern Albania, whose Italianised name is the result of its many years
as a colony of the Venetian Republic - abruptly terminated by the Ottoman Turkish conquest of 1776.
The local Albanian majority and Greek-speaking minority have freely absorbed musical influences from
these imperial cultures, borrowed musical ideas from one another, and absorbed motifs and ideas from
the small Roma and Macedonian populations in some parts of the provinces, as well as from the former
Ladino-speaking (mediaeval Spanish) Jewish population who lived there from their expulsion from
Spain in 1493 until the Nazis came. The result is a folk music of remarkable variety, but with the
common element that the songs and dances frequently end inconclusively. These four dances reflect the
music of this little known region. (Hmm...)
Also there is a performance note: "The key to the successful performance of these pieces will be to
establish the rhythms very clearly - they are irregular and frequently changing, and the pieces will hang
together if each player observes them carefully. Care should be taken to observe the dynamics, since
these may vary between parts in order to bring out the main line. In the third Dance in particular, there is
nearly always one instrument marked louder than the others, and it should be allowed to come through.

Tucker, Christopher, 1976Feather in the morning air / Christopher Tucker.
2003.
Doubles piccolo, English horn and bass clarinet. Needs a bassoon with the low A extension.
Dedicated to composition professor at UT Austin, Dan Welcher.
It was originally composed in the spring of 2000, then arranged for chamber orchestra in 2002, and
finally revised in 2003 into its final form.
This is a difficult piece but tonal and melodic. It incorporates stylistic techniques from Percy Grainger's
catalogue of repertoire into the piece's musical sound. The work consists of two main melodic lines, an
original melody, which dominates the work, and as a tribute to Percy Grainger, the other, Oh, Danny
Boy (Irish Tune from County Derry). Both melodies are employed through a wide variety of styles and
textures. The final four bars embrace the two melodies as well as two frequently used chromatic motives
juxtaposed to an overwhelming, steadfast climax.
Christopher named this piece before he wrote it, and tells me that he endeavored to depict a feather
floating gracefully through the 'morning air' by taking the main melodic elements and 'floating' them
through the different sections of the piece.
Duration: ca. 10 min., 30 sec.
Soon to be published by Healing Eagle Music but until then Christopher can be contacted at

[England] : B. Wardhaugh, 2004.
1 score (19 p.) + 10 parts.
Commissioned in 2004 by the Southwark Consorts of Winds
The ambiguity of the title is intentional - is the hill walking or being walked on? - and the 'walk' refers to
the structure of the piece. Sometimes the walk refers to a previous location; sometimes it moves in an
unexpected direction, but there are unexpected reversals or changes of perspective as new vistas open
up. A small amount of musical material is constantly reinterpreted: in a sense it is the opening flute
melody which goes on a walk. If the players are seen as two quintets, the relationship between the two
shifts from generally cooperative to generally antagonistic during the central section, and the resulting
tension is not resolved.
Durationa: 7 min., 30 sec.
Warlock, Peter, 1894-1930.
Capriol suite / Peter Warlock ; arranged for wind dectet by John Geddes.
Oxfordshire, England : Ariel Music, c2003.
This piece was originally written in 1926 in two different versions, one for piano (4 hands) and one for
string orchestra. In 1928 the composer arranged it for full orchestra. It takes its melodic material from
the book Orchesographie by Thoinot Arbeau, published in 1588 which explains the complexities of 16th
century dance.
Although this arrangement is for double wind quintet it can be performed with slightly different scoring.
Included in this edition is a clarinet part which can substitute for the oboe II in movements 1, 4, and 6. A
clarinet can also be substituted for bassoon I if movement 4 is omitted.

Oxfordshire, England : Ariel Music, 2008.
Premiered on April 16, 2008 in Oxford, England. Commissioned by Simon Payne and the Oxford
Sinfonia.
The piece is 3 movements wit the 2nd movement beginning and ending with a bassoon solo in memory
of the great English bassoonist, William Waterhouse, who died shortly after work began on the piece.
Guy attended the same school as William. The outer movements are reflections on the witty, humorous
side of Bill and the composer's own happy childhood memories.
Duration: ca. 13 min.
Woolfenden, Guy, 1937Serenade for Sophia / Guy Woolfenden.
Oxfordshire, England : Ariel Music, c2003.
1 score (22 p.) + 10 parts.
This piece was written to celebrate the birth of the composer's first grandchild, in 2001. It consists of
three movements. The Intrada sums up the happy event of Sophia's arrival, and is in a forms A-B-A
structure. The Dance which follows taps into the rich culture of Sophia's Jamaican relations. The finale
plays on the juxtaposition of two contrasted moods, first reflective and then happier.
This is a piece my group has worked on and find very rewarding to play. There are some sections where
an amateur group like mine needs a conductor to keep everything together. There are some places where
the meter changes frequently as well as the tempo. The piece has lovely melodies and harmonies and
isn't terribly difficult. May even be playable by an above average high school group.
Duration: 11 min.

The three movements are played without pause. Certain sonorities and patterns recur throughout, the
developmental procedures and characters of each movement contrast sharply with each other, the first
movement is intense and stratospheric, the second languorous and somewhat sentimental, and the final
movement scurrying and enigmatic (and perhaps strangely familiar to those who know their Chopin).

For double wind quintet, string bass, and mezzo soprano.
Omniphobie is thought of as a scene in a French caf with the instruments being the habitus and old men
who sit there aiming their fear and their hatred at the foreign, instrument-less girl who steps into the caf.
Only after a while when she begins to sing and communicate, does their hatred of foreigners recede and
she is accepted.

Sestina : for woodwind ensemble / by Peter Lewis.
New York : Composers Facsimile Edition, c1985.
Written in in 1962 and 1963.
A piano piece with the same title was finished in 1962 right before this piece was begun so this may be
an arrangement of it but I haven't examined both scores to figure it out. A few libraries in the US have
this work including Universisty of Houston, University of Wisconsin at Madison, and University of
Illinois. Only Wisconsin has the parts.
There's not a good site to link to for a biography but here's some information about Peter. Peter Tod
Lewis (1932-1982) was born in Charlottlesville, Virginia, and spent his formative years on both coasts
of the United States. He attended the University of California at Santa Barbara and Brandeis University
in Massachusetts, studying with Arthur Berger, Morton Feldman, Irving Fine, and Lukas Foss. Lewis
was a fellow at the Tanglewood Music Center, Huntington Hartford Foundation, and MacDowell
Colony, and held residences at Southern Illinois University, the Instituut voor Sonologie in Utrecht,
Netherlands, and Groupe de Musique Experimentale in Bourges, France. In 1969 he became director of
the Electonic Music Studios at the University of Iowa, a position he held until his death from cancer in
1982.

This arrangment has an optional contrabassoon part. Also the 2nd flute doubles piccolo.
Variations and a fugue on a theme by Handel was originally written for piano and is based on the
Handel tune Harmonious blacksmith which is originally the Aria con variazioni from the 2nd collection
of the Suites for harpsichord. Tony has chosen to arrange those variations that suit wind instruments the
best without departing too much from the original, so the piece is somewhat shorter than the original.

For standard dwq with an additional contrabassoon.
Written in 2001, this was composed for the Horsham Wind Ensemble (New Harmonie).
These variations are played without a pause and are tuneful and inventive. It isn't too difficult, playable
by very good students or a good amateur group. It attempts to put into musical language the nine muses
of the classical period. Although this is a theme with variations, the presence of other formal structures
such as sonata, rondo and dance movements, often obscures this identity.

1 score (21 p.) + 11 parts ; 28 cm.
Born in 1917 in London, "Tony" Arnell is famous for his symphonic and film works. His music is
romantic in nature and approachable. The first movement of this piece is serious and reflective, the
second light and humorous, the third a lovely cantabile, and the final an exhilarating ballet featuring
dance rhythms.
This piece was written in 1949 and was recorded by the London Baroque Ensemble with Karl Haas, to
