Brandt’s Woodwind Quintet List – B

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

Baaren, Kees van (1906-1970)

Quintetto a fiati, “Sovraposizioni II” (1963)

Amsterdam: Donemus, 1963,1965 /

New York: C. F. Peters

Duration: 10:20. Uses serial style.

Also:

Amsterdam: Donemus, 1952

Baars, Marcel

Babin, Stanley (1932- )

Quintet

Monteux: Musica Rara

Bacewicz, Grażyna (also listed as Bacewiczowna) (1909-1969)

Quintet for Winds (Kwintet na instrumenty dete) (1932)

Krakow: Polskie Wydaw, Muzyczne, 1978, 1999

London: Musica Rara

Movements: I. Allegro; II. Air – Andante; III. Allegretto; IV. Vivo. Duration: 10:00. Bacewicz won the first prize at the Young Composer’s Competition in Paris in 1933 with this work.

The work is Neoclassical in style. According to Grove Music Online, the quintet was one of the few of her early works to be published, but “her music’s salient characteristics of clarity, wit and brevity are already evident in the Wind Quintet, a piece in which she seems to be following Szymanowski’s example in the incorporation of folk elements.” [From article ‘Bacewicz, Grażyna’]

Bach, Carl Philipp Emmanual (1714-1788)

Six Sonatas (1775) (transcribed Don Stewart)

Tunbridge, Vt.: Trillenium Music, 1996

Duration: 20:00.

Rondo pour klavier en re mineur, Wq 61/4 (arr. Bernard de Vienne)

Strasbourg: Editions Francois Dhalmann

Rondo Andantino (arr. Alec Wilder)

Bach, Erik (1946- )

Straight Flush in a Funny Game, Op. 6 (1970)

Monteux: Musica Rara

Son vent, Op. 16 (1974)

Monteux: Musica Rara

Title probably means “Windy House”.

Bach, Jan (1937- )

Skizzen (Sketches) — Suite for Woodwind Quintet after
Drawings by Heinrich Kley (1967)

Highgate Press, Galaxy Music Corp., NY, E.C. Schirmer

First performance was by the Northern Illinois University Woodwind quintet. See also: http://www.janbach.com/

Nine movements by the American Jan Bach, each illustrating a sketch by the Austrian artist, Alfred Julius Kley. You can purchase slides of the drawings (for slide projector or overhead projector) to show simultaneously with the performance. Some of the movements are very difficult, but hilarious, and the audience will love the musical commentary on the drawings (especially “The Art Critic”). My favorite is “The Love Match” which includes snippets of every work you’ve ever heard at a wedding, although the zany “Dance Craze” finale will have you tapping toes throughout (it’s in the score). Unfortunately, many of the drawings are unsuitable for young children or (we discovered) for recitals in Baptist churches. (I rate them PG.) [ Andrew Brandt ]

Badings, Henk (1907-1987)

Quintet No. 1 (1929)

Amsterdan: Stichting Donemus,

Duration: 15:00.

Recordings of this work are difficult to find, as it was a student work. Although mostly self-taught at this stage, he was sufficiently advanced to have his First Symphony performed by the Concertgebouw Orchestra the following year, while still a student. Reed players should also check Badings’s trio d’anches of various types. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Kwintet No. IV (2e Blaaskwintet) (1948)

Amsterdan: Stichting Donemus, 1948

Note that the 1948 Quintet was Bading’s Second Woodwind Quintet, with other types of quintets between 1 and 4. Sometimes this work is also called the Second Woodwind Quintet, and sometimes, erroneously, Woodwind Quintet No. 4. Movements: Allegro; Molto Adagio; Scherzo; Allegro. Duration: 24:00. A modern recording of this work is available from the Quintette à Vent du Conservatoire de Luxembourg.

A good work, worth performing still. There are various recordings, including on YouTube. You can hear some general influence of Paul Hindemith in the writing. Badings would later write music based on microtones, electronic music, and experiment with different scales and tuning systems. Howevver, his Kwintet No. IV is firmly based in traditional tonality, with sophisticated polyphonic techniques and some piquant harmonies. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Subsequently, the work has been recorded by over 25 quintets around Europe and the Americas.Duration: 12:00.

The quintessential American quintet. One of my favorite works in the literature and well-liked by audiences. Challenging. [ Andrew Brandt ]

According to a 2016 dissertation by Kristen Woodward, Barber was commissioned to write this work for the Chamber Music Society of Detroit. Part of the contract stated that the “published edition must bear an inscription to the Chamber Music Society of Detroit and name the musicians who performed the premiere.” But during the composition of this work, Barber attended several rehearsals of the New York Woodwind Quintet, had them play experimental excerpts, and they read through the work after its composition. After the Detroit musicians premiered Summer Music, the New York Woodwind Quintet also performed it and included it in their 1956 South American tour. [See more: Kristin Woodward’s “John Barrows and His Contributions to the Horn Literature”, Florida State University Digital Library, 2016.] A similar story confirming these details is found in [Amy L. Likar, The New York Woodwind Quintet: A Continuing Legacy, Ohio State University, 1999]

Catherine Gerhart of the Annotated Bibliography of Double Wind Quintet Music explains, “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.”

According to the composer: “‘Casa Loma Wind Quintet’ (2014): premiered in April 2015 by the Blythwood Winds at the Music Gallery in Toronto…, this five-movement work paints a portrait of Henry Pellatt, his wife Mary and their landmark Toronto home, Casa Loma.” ¶ Casa Loma (Hill House) is a 98-room, Gothic Revival mansion and garden (complete with castle tower) in Toronto that remains a popular tourist attraction, as well as a meeting place and movie set. Written for the 100th anniversary of the mansion’s completion, the music, to my ears, is a collection of set pieces that reflect the age when the Pellatt family lived there. The Casa Loma Quintet is therefore a beautiful, if nostalgically conservative, addition to the quintet repertoire. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Barraine, Elsa (1910-1999)

Ouvrage de Dame (1931)

Cincinnati, Ohio, A. J. Andraud

The work is a theme and seven variations, each reflecting a feminine personality: “Angélique; Berthe, aux sonorités dures; Irène, sinueuse; Barbe, fugato burlesque; Sarah; Isabeau de Bavière, avec son chapeau conique et son voile flottant; Léocadie, vieille fille sentimentale du temps jadis.” A student of Dukas, winner of the Prix de Rome, and a resistance member during the German occupation of World War II, her life and work is worth looking into. This work is also included in the Andraud 22 Quintets collection.

Studying with Claude-Paul Taffanel, Georges Barrére was still a young flutist when he had the good fortune to be the very first flutist to see and perform the famous solo in Debussy’s Prelude to the Afternoon of a Faun in Paris. He also organized the Parisian Sociéte moderne d’instruments à vent. Later he went to perform as principal flutist of the New York Philharmonic (for over 25 years) and taught at Juilliard (hence the “Juilliard series” in the title). [ Andrew Brandt ]

New York: G. Schirmer, 1950

John Barrows was a hornist and, in 1952, co-founder of the New York Woodwind Quintet. The March was written for that group specifically for young audiences. Earlier, in 1941 Barrows performed with the League of Composers Woodwind Quintet’s Latin American tour of 5 composer/performers: David Van Vactor, flute, Alvin Etler, oboe; John McBride on clarinet, Adolph Weiss, bassoon, and Barrows on horn.

Paris: Alphonse Leduc, ca. 1899 /

The Leduc edition is now available for free download from the International Music Score Library Project, at http://imslp.org/wiki/Passacaille_(Barthe,_Adrien) .

This work is included in the famous Andraud 22 Quintets published by Southern Music. It is a fairly flashy French fugue-style piece. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Davyd Breeskin of Annandale, Virginia, says the Kjos edition is easier to read than the one in the Andraud collection, with different articulations and other inconsistencies between the editions.

Aubade

Paris: A. Pinatel, 1893

Possibly also published by Southern Music? But see the next entry. The original Pinatel version is also available for download from the International Music Score Library Project at http://imslp.org/wiki/Aubade_(Barthe,_Adrien).

On a historic note, the Aubade was one of the works on the first concert of the Société de Musique de Chambre pour Instruments à Vent on Feb. 6, 1879 in the Salle Pleyel in Paris. This group, founded by Paul Taffanel, played an important role in developing wind chamber music for 14 years.

Two Pieces for Woodwind Quintet (Aubade and Passacaille)

Manhattan, KS: Prairie Dawg Press

An edition of the previous two works together. According to Bruce Gbur, “Barthe wrote the Aubade for his friend Paul Taffanel, who featured it on the first concert of his Society for Wind Chamber Music in 1879.”Unfortunately, Bruce Gbur (bassoonist and owner of Prairie Dawg Press has passed and I do not know where the rights to these works has landed.

Duration: 15:00. Flute doubles on piccolo. Commissioned by The Reykjavik Wind Quintet and premiered by them at the Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama on April 27, 2001. Each of the five movements features one of the members of the quintet: Perdix perdix (the partridge) — horn; Vanellus vanellus (the lapwing) — oboe; Carduelis cannabina, emberiza calendra (the linnet, the corn bunting) — flute and piccolo; Tyto alba (the barn owl) — bassoon; Pyrrhula pyrrhula (the bullfinch) — clarinet. For more info: http://www.sallybeamish.com/

Sally Beamish writes: “I wrote this piece while also working on Knotgrass Elegy, an oratorio which uses a text by Donald Goodbrand Saunders describing the threat that modern farming methods pose to birds. The birds’ Latin names are chanted by a children’s chorus. While making the sketches for this large scale piece, I became fascinated by the close relationship that the Latin names (and often common names too) have with the actual sound of the bird. I began to notate the birdsongs with that in mind, and these five short movements for wind quintet emerged, each featuring a different member of the quintet as a soloist.”

ARRANGEMENTS OF THE SEXTET FOR WINDS, OP. 71:

Quintet in E-flat (arrangement of the Sextet, Op. 71, “by the Philadelphia Woodwind Quintet”)

Bryn Mawr, PA: Theodore Presser Co.

Nice arrangement of the Sextet. As a bassoonist, I much prefer this version to the arrangement in Andraud’s 22 Quintets because the bassoon keeps all the solos from the original sextet. (The Andraud arrangement gives many of the same solos to the horn. Even though horn players might enjoy the solos, this is nearly the equivalent of arranging the Mozart Oboe Quartet for clarinet solo, which most oboists would not put up with.) [ Andrew Brandt ]

Quintett in E-flat, Op. 71 (arr. Mordechai Rechtman)

Holzkirchen, Germany: Accolade Musikverlag, 2001

Like the Philadelphia Quintet arrangement, most of the bassoon solos in the original sextet are kept for the bassoon. Ronald Klimko reviews this arrangement as “a very beautiful and convincing transcription of this very popular work for wind quintet. I strongly recommend this work as the arrangement to use….” (The Double Reed, Vol. 24, No. 4)

Quintett in E-flat, Op. 71 (arr. Robert Stark, 1847-1922)

Hamburg: A. J. Benjamin, 1900

Quintett in E-flat, Op. 71 (arr. Ryohei Nakagawa)

Manuscript: Library of Congress

Sextet, Op. 71, for woodwind quintet (arr. Ray Thompson)

Ray Thompson Music: http://raythompsonmusic.weebly.com/

The arranger takes the famous bassoon solo in the second movement and gives it to the horn, so, as a bassoonist, I cannot recommend this arrangement. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Reflections on a Sixteenth Century Tune for double woodwind quintet

London: Chester / Novello, 1999

Originally scored for strings, the composer arranged his work for 2 flutes (2nd doubling on piccolo), 2 oboes (2nd doubling English horn), 2 clarinets (2nd doubling bass clarinet), 2 bassoons (2nd doubling contrabassoon), 2 horns. The work is based on a 16th century French song, “A l’ombre d’un buissonet’ from La Couronne et Fleur (1556). Movements: Prelude: Lento; Variation I Allegretto; Variation II Allegro Vivo; Variation III Andante (Homage to Peter Warlock); Variation IV Con brio e ritmico; Finale. Duration: 18:00.

Bennett, Robert Russell (1894-1981)

Dance Scherzo (or Dance Scherzoso) (1937)

American Music Center

Written for and broadcast on Bennett’s radio series, “Russell Bennett’s Notebook,” on the Mutual Broadcasting Network, the reviewer Charles Mills (who often criticized the program) called Dance Scherzo “a fairly amusing and clever work.” For those of us who played RRB’s musicals (too many times), it might be a surprise that he spent 3 years in Paris studying with Nadia Boulanger (through a Guggenheim fellowship), wrote 7 symphonies, an opera, and over 30 wind-band works. But locating the manuscripts for these two quintets probably will take a specialist in RRB’s music and archives. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Toy Symphony for woodwind quintet (ca. 1928)

Composed in Paris while Bennett was studying with Nadia Boulanger, the Toy Symphony was written for the principal winds of the Philadelphia Orchestra and premiered in 1932 in Philadelphia. Possibly never published, though. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Concerto Grosso for Wind Quintet and Wind Orchestra (1958)

New York: C. F. Peters (American Wind Symphony Editions)

A video of the 3rd and 4th movements is available on YouTube performed by the West Point Woodwind Quintet and Band on https://youtu.be/2dHSgix6p18 .

The work was one of the earliest commissions by Robert Boudreau for his American Wind Symphony (who also commissioned a work by Heitor Villa-Lobos at around the same time). It premiered on July 6, 1958, in Pittsburgh, conducted by the composer. Donald Steinfurst, reviewer for the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, described it: “the first two movements are serious in character, stolid but nicely apportioned to the wind soloists. The latter two movements, a Scherzo and a rapid Finale, are more syncopated even jazzy in character, and are thoroughly enjoyable in this medium.” [From a dissertation The Life and Work of Robert Russell Bennett by Roy Benton Hawkins, 1989.] Bennett would go on to write many other works for the American Wind Symphony.

Benzon, Siegfried(1793-after 1823)

Quintett, Op. 11 in E-flat Major

Augsburg: Gombart, 1819

Copy in Deutsche Staatsbibliotek, Berlin

Also available on microfilm in Berkeley, California: University of California Library Photographic Service, 1998

(Modern edition:) Rot an der Rot: Musikverlag Rundel, 1994, Heft 198; see https://www.rundel.de/

Movements: Adagio; Allegro Molto; Andante; Bolero Moderato. The Rundel publication is edited by Miloslav Richter with many corrections. This quintet is in the repertoire list of the Balthazar Ensemble (the period instrument woodwind quintet).

Siegfried Benzon is a mysterious composer, violinist, singer and conductor. According to composers-classical-music.com, he had several positions in the German states from 1817 until 1822, when he was dismissed from the Staatsorchester Kassel (and replaced by Ludwig Spohr). Perhaps unable to obtain a new position, he sailed from Bremen in 1823 to either South Africa or Australia and the biographical trail disappears. (Since Australia was a British penal colony at the time, that seems like an unlikely destination for any German, especially a musician. South Africa, particularly Cape Town (also a British territory in 1823), would make more sense, but since we don’t know why Benzon left, this is all speculative.) If Benzon’s quintet was published in 1819, he must have written his quintet during the same period that Reicha was writing his 24 quintets in Paris, although it’s entirely plausible that neither composer knew of the other’s work. Nevertheless, this work should be listed as one of the earliest woodwind quintets. Benzon dedicated his quintet to V. Blashek, who’s anonymity only extends the mystery around the quintet.

Berezowsky, Nicolai (also spelled Berezovsky) (1900-1953)

Suite No. 1, Op. 11 (1928)

London: Boosey & Hawkes

Berlin and Paris: Russischer Musikverlag, 1936

Flute doubles piccolo. Movements: 1. Allegro con spirito; 2. Adagio molto sostenuto; 3. Allegro giocoso; 4. Allegretto con melinconia; and 5. Allegro con brio. Premiered by the Barrère Ensemble (likely in New York City, probably at Juilliard). Born in St. Petersburg in Imperial Russia, Berezowsky graduated from the Imperial Capella with honors at 16. He later served as musical director of the School of Modern Art in Moscow and first violinist of the Moscow Grand Opera. In 1922 he made a dangerous escape in disguise from the Soviet Union, only to be arrested in Poland, but released by an official who remembered hearing him play. He travelled to New York, continued violin studies at the Juilliard School of Music, and performed with the New York Philharmonic for his first seven years in the U.S. He would have been a student a Juilliard when he composed tis work. The conductor Serge Koussevitzky would become a staunch supporter of Berezowsky. An older recording of this work The New Art Wind Quintet is available on YouTube.

The Suite No. 1 is a quirky work, light-hearted on the surface, but with frequent dissonant harmonies (and polytonal bits) that suggest darker underlying currents. To these ears, the work sounds closer to members of Les Six with a dark Russian soul than to the Germans (Schoenberg and Hindemith) of the decade. But then the third movement adds some Hindemithian overtones. The slow second and fourth movements have a lonely dark-night-of-the-soul quality that adds depth to the work. The first and third and fifth movements have more energy and forward motion, but don’t reach an emotional resolution until the finale. When heard in context with more famous works of the 1920s, Berezowsky’s quintet, at first hearing seems more frivolous and clown-like (especially in the first movement), but after a few hearings, there’s a unique style under the surface that hints of a more serious, darker, perhaps Russian attitude to the work. In context of the aesthetics of the decade, this quintet holds its own against Hindemith, Schoenberg and the others. It deserves to be heard more often and also deserves a better recording. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Quintett No. 1 (1930 [???]

Moscow: Muzyka

References to this work are problematic. After Berezovsky’s defection to the United States, it seems extremely unlikely that the official Soviet publisher, Muzyka, would publish a work composed in 1930 by Berezovsky, who was by then American citizen. It’s more likely that someone confused the German Russischer Musikverlag with the Russian Muzyka, and mis-dated the publishing year. The Musicalics online database also refers to a Quintet 2 of 1937, which is likely a mixed-up reference to the Suite No. 2 of 1941, below.

Opus Number Zoo, Children’s Play for Wind Quintet (1951, revised 1970)

Wein: Universal Edition, 1975

Text is by Rhoda Levine. Flute doubles on alto flute. Duration: 4:30 Movements: I. Barn Dance; II. The Fawn; III. The Grey Mouse; IV. Tom Cats. There are several interpretations available on YouTube and on commercial recordings.

Opus Number Zoo requires the players to alternate playing and narrating text to tell modern fables (by Rhoda Levine) about different animals. The score includes text in English, Italian and German. (The parts might have only English, so check.) The main difficulty in peforming this work is for the ensemble to play softly enough during the narrations so the text can easily be heard. For the speakers, enunciation, volume and interpretation are important. The ensemble might consider positioning themselves in a straight line (perhaps standing) instead of the normal seating plan so each speaker can face the audience directly. The original version of Opus No. Zoo in 1950 was for 2 clarinets, 2 horns, and a separate speaker, Cathy Berberian (who later collaborated with Berio on many vocal works). So using a separate narrator (who could read the score as an ensemble member) could be a performance option. Unlike many works designed for children, Opus No. Zoo works very well in formal recital settings, too. Highly recommended. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Berk, Stacey(1970- )

Avian Suite (2011) version for woodwind quintet

Waupaca, Wisconsin: Cocobolo Music Press, http://cocobolomusic.com/

Movements: Eagle; Chickadee; Olw; Swan; and Hummingbird. Duration: 12:00 Commissioned by Kimberly Helton and The Polaris Wind Quintet in 2011.

According to the composer, “In Eagle, the open intervals and melodic embellishments lend a Native American feel to the introduction. This carries the listener to the magnificent open plains where the music gradually swells into a soaring theme before returning to rest at the end. — Chickadee is the most literal translation of birdsong in the suite, with “chick-a-dee-dee-dees” and “phoe-bes” used as motivic material. In addition, the movement attempts to capture the perky, inquisitive nature of the little bird. — Owl is a shift into a dark forest, with creepy night noises and the bassoon taking the lead with a spooky octatonic melody. — Swan characterizes the beauty of the majestic bird as it sweeps through the water. — Hummingbird is a rondo that uses the quintet to emulate a tiny bird that zooms in and out of sight as it hovers and zips around with its lightning-quick wings.

Doodling Through History for double woodwind quintet

Waupaca, Wisconsin: Cocobolo Music Press, http://cocobolomusic.com/

According to the composer, this is a “super fun romp through history, using Yankee Doodle as the theme! This piece requires the instrumentalists to *gasp* sing and narrate! One of the musicians acts as a professor, teaching the audience about the different time periods of music history, and each instrumentalist introduces one time period. Make it even more fun with props and costumes!”

Catch Me if You Can (1993)

Oxford, New York: Oxford University Press

Duration: 14:00. Written for and premiered by the Haffner Wind Quintet (not as part of the old Haffner Festival, though). See also: http://www.michaelberkeley.co.uk/ for program notes and a recorded excerpt.

The composer writes that this work “… belongs to a group of pieces (including my opera Baa Baa Black Sheep and the solo viola piece Odd Man Out) that are all connected to or inspired by children and in particular their behaviour and their games. What fascinates me is not just the fun or the invention but the elements of kindness and cruelty that often emerge side by side; the combinations of vulnerability and strength, or resignation and ruthlessness. The music follows a Sonatina-like structure with a fast-slow-fast pattern. Most of the work is based on the notes that make up the short phrase of wide intervals first heard on the bassoon. This opening vivo soon develops into multi-textured ideas and considerable friction. By contrast the slow, uncluttered centre of the work is, I think, perhaps coloured by recollections of playing Bartok’s piano music for children… The last movement is a chase but once again there are some rather nasty and unexpected twists and turns.”

“…the composer evokes the imagery of ethnic Jewish themes and Klezmer musical ideas, with a lot of note ‘bending’ and fragmentation in the smorgasbord first movement,” and ”…makes liberal use of jazzy rhythmic themes, and includes the occasional creative use of multiphonics and flutter-tonguing as well.” in the second.

For 2 oboes, 2 horns and bassoon or flute, clarinet, oboe, horn, and bassoon, includes transcription of the first horn part for clarinet in A. This edition is based on a set of manuscript parts found in the Library of the Gesellschaft der Musikfreunde, Vienna with the signature MS VIII 8535/q. Preface in German and English.

Beythien, Kurt (1897-1974)

Quintett in F Major, Op. 7 (1925)

Wernigerode: Robert Ostermeyer Musikedition, 2015

Also a private printing, about 1930

Much like Alexander Borodin, Beythien was also a chemist and part-time composer. This work was originally created in 1925 for woodwind sextet (with two clarinets), but later reworked for woodwind quintet in 1927 (having the oboist double on English horn). It was performed widely in the 1930s, but then seems to have faded away (possibly being out of print or simply because of the disruptions of World War II). Performing ensembles appear to have included the Wind Quintet of the Dresden State Opera and a quintet of the Staatsoper Berlin, among others. Written around the same time as the Hindemith and Nielsen quintets and before the Ibert quintet, the new Ostermeyer edition may help us to understand the compositional variety of the 1920s quintets better. (See our blog for articles on Roaring 20s Quintets.) [ Andrew Brandt ]

Bird, Arthur (1856-1923)

Serenade, Op. 40 (1898) for double woodwind quintet

Newton Centre, MA: Margun Music

Duration: 21:30. One oboe doubles on English horn. Movements: I. Allegro moderato; II. Adagio grazioso; III. Allegro assai; IV. Finale: Allegro energico.

Suite in D, Op. 29 (1889) for double woodwind quintet (+ optional double bass?)

Newton Centre, MA: Margun Music

Movements: I. Allegro moderato; II. Andante moderato; III. Allegretto quasi allegro; and IV. Allegro con fuoco. Duration: 26:00. A creditable student performance of the entire work is available on YouTube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SEuHeqLEXDk

This work was commissioned by French flutist Paul Taffanel and his Parisian wind ensemble, La Société de Musique de Chambre pour Instruments à vent. There appear to be some conflicting opus numbers, with Opus 29 referring to both the Suite in D Major for ten winds and also his “Four Novelletten for Piano.” (See the list of works on the International Music Score Library Project site: http://imslp.org/wiki/List_of_works_by_Arthur_H._Bird).

Both of these Arthur Bird works are recorded by the North Texas Chamber Players on Klavier Wind Recordings, KCD-11071. On first listening, both works sounded, to my ears, like a cross between the Gounod Petite Symphonie and the Dvořak Serenade, with a hint more of seriousness and contrapuntal ability. They’re both delightful works in the French Nineteenth Century style and deserve to be rescued from obscurity. After 1900 Bird rarely composed, so these two dectets are the best examples of Bird’s mature Romanticism. [ Andrew Brandt ]

According to the article in Grove Music Online, this was Birtwistle’s first mature composition, completed on the last day of 1957. He composed quickly, saying, “I wrote it completely off the top of my head. I can’t justify a single note.” When the work was selected for performance at the 1959 Cheltenham Festival, Birtwistle reportedly decided to sell his clarinets and aim towards being a composer, instead.

Nonet for wind instruments (1971, rev. 1978)

London: Novello & Co.

For flute, 2 oboes, 2 clarinets (one doubles English horn), 2 bassoons and 2 horns. Duration: 22:00.

According to the composer, “This is one of several works commissioned from me over the years by the Northern Sinfonia. It was written in 1971 and somewhat revised in 1978. It is a substantial piece lasting some twenty minutes and has at its heart a Scherzo which contains three contrasting musics with interrelated tempi. The short, central Trio is a cor anglais solo. An Andante, also full of contrasts, precedes the scherzo, and these two densely through-composed movements are preceded and followed by lighter, more episodic forms. The first movement is a chorale interspersed with three canons and the last comprises a reprise of the chorale, a deflating alla marcia and final calm code.” [From An Annotated Guide to Wind Chamber Music by Rodney Winther.]

According to the composer, “This work was commissioned by the Quintet of the Americas, this 3 mvt. 10 minute composition, swings and is very colorful in its use of timbres. Highly polyphonic and rhythmically complex, it is driven by a cyclical treatment of material.”

Arion’s Song (Woodwind Quintet #2) (1986)

Los Angeles: Osmund Music, Inc. See ordering info above.

Duration: 10:00.

Again, the composer, “This 5 mvt. composition is very lyrical, lively, colorful and audience friendly. Many solos for the players. It employs a cyclical treatment of themes.”

New York: MCA Music 1971

Duration: 5:00. PDF and sound file at: http://library.newmusicusa.org/

The composer rants: “Short but eventful woodwind quintet in which melodic subject is expanded and contracted laterally. Compact neo-classic / neo-polyphonic piece. Composed in early attempt to avoid general woodwind quintet sound of rattling of dry bones. And to avoid patness of contemporary fugues which harp all too obviously on identically repeated fugue subjects….” Blumenfeld also asserts that only two quintet compositions “surmount w[oo]dw[i]nd quintet aridity: the quintet of John Harbison, its palette enlarged by incorporating alternate instruments into the mix; and of course, the delightful, ‘grosse’ “Kleine Kammermusik” of Hindemith. Oases in a dry land…… The sheer brevity of my little quintet have afforded it some immunity from the problem.” [You may take what you will from the statement.]

Although a 20th century work, this quintet is more in the style of the late 19th century: sort of a cross between Brahms and Richard Strauss in style. It is a beautiful work and deserves to be performed much more often. Highly recommended for the advanced quintet. (We had to perform from copies of the out-of-print Zimmerman edition, available in libraries. Since then Zimmerman has published a new edition.) [ Andrew Brandt ]

King of Prussia, Pennsylvania: Theodore Presser Company, https://www.presser.com/

Duration: 16:30. See http://www.victoriabond.com/

This work is based on Ms. Bond’s opera about the story of Gulliver’s Travels. According to Bond, “…this quintet elaborates dramatic scenes from the opera that I was working on at that time, Travels. The first movement, Hot Air, shows Gulliver in an agitated state, eager for the journey, impatient to begin; the second movement, Who Is Gulliver, finds him at a turning point, where he has lost his direction and his sense of identity; the third movement, In My Land, gives him a glimpse of a more perfect world of peace and harmony; the last movement, Yahoos, gives an unflattering portrait of humans as seen by a more advanced lifeform.”

It appears that these last two quintets were likely composed when Borroff was working on her Master’s degree at the American Conservatory of Music in Chicago, so they might be considered student works.

Recorded by The City of Tomorrow quintet, currently available on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zqdB5_Ksig8 .

After listening to the piece twice, I still can’t make heads or tails out of it, except that it consists of long and short phrases of mostly atonal composition, separated by brief pauses, occasionally using jazz-like rhythms (or something resembling them). I feel as if I (who never studied Chinese) was trying to read a certain Chinese encyclopedia: I don’t understand what musical language the ensemble is speaking in, but they are doing it very earnestly and vigorously. Not for the technically insecure or faint of heart woodwind quintet. Listen to/watch the video and make up your own mind. [ Andrew Brandt ]

But she also travels the world in search of music and sounds documented in her Sound Journal, worth perusing on her website. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Prevailing Winds (1974), for woodwind quintet, spacially separated

Premiered by the Dorian Wind Quintet.

Although Henry Brant is associated mainly with avant-garde works with spatially separated musicians, this piece is a conventional, light, humorous piece originally intended to be an overture to a comic (or comic book?) opera. Imagine a Bach chorale excerpt maltreated as a polka, rumba and a galop, with circus interludes. Fun to listen to and perform. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Wind Quintet (2016)

Performed and recorded by City of Tomorrow quintet, see https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4YqITgFy-b4 . The work uses pre-recorded sound and percussion effects and may pre-record and alter the quintet instruments, too, so the recorded quintet takes over for a while.

A unique work, the piece starts with what appears to be an atonal canon, but quickly devolves into the competing musical factions before adding recorded sounds. I like the idea of pre-recorded quintet alternating with live quintet and the two eventually competing with each other. The live musicians close out the piece. A good project for the quintet that wants to be cutting edge modern in the early 21st century. (As is the City of Tomorrow quintet.) [ Andrew Brandt ]

See also: http://www.martinbresnick.com/bio.htm

To my ear, after a couple of listenings, this work develops timbrel textures (rather than melodies) with instrumental color, pointillism, rhythms and motivic repetition. Different sections are joined together by horn solos that work through the natural harmonic series, exploiting natural horn intonation. Seems like some early minimalism is thrown in as well. A bit of a haunting work, it’s worth a listen and, for adventurous quintets, a performance. Recommended. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Nikolaus Spoerel describes this quintet as: “Very unusual for a wind quintet in late romantic italian (operatic) style. Lots of work for the flutist, and nice tunes for everyone with not the most interesting accomp. parts. But it really comes off nicely on this recording with the Aulos quintet. Actually there are four quintets by Briccialdi (the others are in ms, but even more interesting than the publ. one) recorded on recent Stradivarius and Bongiovanni CD’s….” Manuscripts are in the
Istituto Musicale Giulio Briccialdi

Istituto Musicale Pareggiato “Giulio Briccialdi”
via Manassei, 6
05100 Terni
Tel. 0744.549603 / 549604

As a flutist, Briccialdi was famous enough to have a flute key named after him (the Briccialdi B key), a flute company (Briccialdi Flutes), and an asteroid (7714 Briccialdi, discovered in 1996). Briccialdi also appears to have the distinction of being the only composer to have one of his scores permanently lost with the sinking of the Titanic in 1912. There are several recordings of Opus 124 to choose from on YouTube, including competing interpretations by Beijing and Moscow quintets, but I like the Aulos Quintet’s best. Many other videos feature individual movements. Although you would never discribe this work as profound or majestic, there is plenty of tuneful, virtuosic display here to show off every member of the quintet and to entertain an audience. I could see this performed as a recital finale, perhaps after a meatier quintet, such as a Reicha. A definite crowd pleaser. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Second Quintet in B major?, Op. 132?? (edited or arranged by Robert Ostermeyer?)

Wernigerode, Germany: Robert Ostermeyer Musikedition, 2005, ROM 169

Movements: Allegretto; Andante sostenuto; Allegro. The Opus number is problematic, with giuliobriccialdi.com giving that opus number to “Sedici Duettini dialogati per due Flauti.” This edition is based on the manuscript from the library of the Accademia de Santa Cecilia in Rome (Ms. 3206). It appears that this work is Series 10, Number 2; see below.

Quintets in B Major, catalog Series 10, Numbers 2 & 3

Recorded by the Quintetto Briccialdi and at least one recorded by the Avalon Wind Quintet CD 8.553410 Naxos. It appears that there are two numbering systems for Briccialdi’s works, the usual Opus numbers, and mysterious Series numbers. Unfortunately, some sites number these quintets as #1 and #2 in B, others as #2 and #3 under Series 10. The official Briccialdi website uses its own numbering system. There are recordings available of the first movements of both of these quintets on YouTube performed by (who else?) The Briccialdi Quintet. Both quintets in B appear to be three-movement works. Duration for S. 10/2 is 13:15; for S. 10/3 is 13:50.

Potpourri Fantastico sul Barbiere di Siviglia del Mo Rossini, Series 10, No. 4

Salem, Ct.: Cimarron Music Press, 2007. cimarronmusic.com

Duration: 9:35. Based on Rossini’s Barber of Seville opera. It appears that Briccialdi composed it also for woodwind quintet, although the Borealis Wind Quintet may have edited it for their own performance and recording, “A La Carte – Short Works for Winds.” Their recording is available on the www.CimarronMusic.com and also on YouTube.

Briccialdi, a virtuoso flutist, took advantage of the popular Italian operas of the day and composed many arrangements for flute and piano of opera excerpts by Rossini, Bellini, Mercadante, Pacini, Donizetti, Verdi and even Wagner. Naturally, he wrote one flute and piano work based on Il Barbiere di Siviglia as well. Briccialdi, however, composed this work specifically for woodwind quintet. It’s unclear how much the Borealis Wind Quintet may have edited it for their own performance and recording, “A La Carte – Short Works for Winds.” Their recording of this piece is available on the www.CimarronMusic.com and also on YouTube. If you like The Barber of Seville, you’ll like this virtuosic arrangement for quintet. It includes virtuosic passages for the entire quintet, not just the flute. There is also lots of room to match the original opera singers’ rubato and comedy as well. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Pot-Pourri Fantastico from Donizetti’s “Lucrezia Borgia” and “Lucia di Lammermoor”, Op. 46 (arr. ??)

Salem, Ct.: Cimarron Music Press, 2007. cimarronmusic.com

The problem with this listing, found on WorldCat.org, is that Cimarron Music’s online catalog doesn’t list this work. Briccialdi did write a piece, Op. 46, with a slightly different title, for flute and piano, according to Giulio Briccialdi’s Full Catalogue on https://www.giuliobriccialdi.com/ . But the quintet arrangement is NOT in the Cimarron Music Press catalog at cimarronmusic.com. So either it’s a new arrangement that hasn’t made it into their online catalog, or the librarian who cited the work, found in WorldCat, made a mistake, confusing this Pot-Pourri with the one for Rossini’s Barber of Seville, cited above. I think it’s the latter, a librarian mistake.

Brod, Henri (1799-1839)

Three Quintets (Op. 2, Nos. 1, 2 & 3)

Middleton, Wisconsin: A-R Editions, 2008 /

Bradfield, Berkshire, England: Rosewood Publications, www.rosewoodpublications.co.uk

Original edition printed by Pacini and Schonenberger in Paris, 19th century

The birth and death dates for Henri Brod have gradually settled on 1799-1839, although a few sources may still cling to 1801-1838. Grove Music, the referee in these types of disputes, uses the first set of dates. In any case, Brod’s life was too short and Grove Music Online fails by using most of the article describing his oboe making, listing none of his compositions. More importantly for us, Brod studied oboe at the Paris Conservatoire with Gustave Vogt, who likely performed all of Reicha’s quintets from 1819-1829. So Brod was likely well familiar with Reicha’s and Cambini’s quintets to use them as models for his own quintets. Another important influence in Brod’s compositions was playing oboe in the Paris Opéra’ orchestra, and thus being familiar with all the modern styles in opera (including Rossini). All 3 of Brod’s quintets are recorded by the Albert Schweitzer Quintet on a CD released by DeutschlandRadio. Otherwise there is a real dearth of recordings of these works online. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Brockway, Howard (1870-1951)

At Twilight and An Idyl of Murmuring Water for double woodwind quintet

Unpublished?

It is difficult to piece together the history of these wind pieces. Brockway originally composed them as Two Piano Pieces, Op. 39, Nos. 1 and 2 respectively, circa 1911. (See the International Music Score Library Project for a copy of the piano versions.) Brockway appears to have arranged them for ten winds himself, for a series of concerts of the Georges Longy Club, performed on Nov. 27, 1913. The Club was an ensemble of ten wind musicians formed by oboist Georges Longy (who was brought from Paris to play in the Boston Symphony). The Longy Club promoted contemporary wind music, particularly French and American music, occasionally adding a pianist to the winds. Reviews in the two Boston papers about these two pieces were contradictory. I could find no online evidence of a score for the dectet ever being published. [ Andrew Brandt ]

Burghauser, Jarmil (a.k.a. Michal Hajku) (1921-1997)

4 Woodwind Quintets published between 1935 and 1945 in D Major, A Major, G Major, C Major

Possibly published or available in the Czech Republic or in Poland.

One source gives 1992 as the year of creation for the C Major Quintet. During the suppression after the 1962 Prague Spring, the Communist authorities systematically removed all credit of Burghauser’s work (and that of other supporters of the liberalization), so research is sometimes difficult. Burghauser published some works under the pseudonym M. Hajku. A short biography is included in his obituary in The Independent online

The dating of this work is highly suspect because Burian was in Nazi concentration camps from 1941-1945. It could, perhaps, be a later edition of his 1933 quintet.

The publication info for the Israel Music Institute is confusing, because there is no record online of Max Butting being Jewish or of Jewish descent, or of having ever visited Israel or even of leaving Germany. These works are, in any case, not in the IMI’s current catalog. Neither are they listed in Barenreiter’s current online catalog, although they might have been published by a smaller publisher later bought out by Barenreiter.
