Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quintet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.787230 Composed by Greg Bartholomew. 20th Century,Concert,Contemporary,Standards. 24 pages. Burke & Bagley #41307. Published by Burke & Bagley (A0.787230). The Second Suite from Razumov derives from the second act of Razumov, Greg Bartholomew’s chamber opera based on the novel Under Western Eyes by Joseph Conrad. The opera tells the story of a young Russian, Razumov, who is caught up in the consequences when a fellow university student, Victor Haldin, assassinates a government minister. Themes for Part 1 are taken from the opening scene of Act Two, in which Haldin’s mother, in exile in Geneva and worried by the lack of news from her son, learns that Victor was the assassin and has now been caught and executed. Part 2 is an instrumental interlude. Part 3 is based on the scene in which Razumov is urged to visit Mrs. Haldin, an encounter Razumov dreads because it was he who informed on Haldin to the government. The final Part corresponds to the scene in which Razumov learns that news received from Russia has released him from suspicion for Haldin’s death by placing responsibility on an innocent man. The Suite was commissioned by a consortium of ensembles led by the Aeolian Winds of Pittsburgh, who presented the world premiere performance on November 9, 2008, at the First Baptist Church of Pittsburgh.

Published by Burke & Bagley (A0.787365). The score for Dale Dykins’ Pastorale & Burlesque for wind quintet and piano was found among the composer’s papers after his death in 2009.  Total duration ca. 6'30The Pastorale & Burlesque was premiered April 28, 1955, in a concert at Frasier Hall, Greeley, Colorado, sponsored by Phi Mu Alpha and the Colorado State College of Education, Division of Music, by William Hill, flute, Kenneth Evans, oboe, Richard Jacobs, clarinet, William Gower, bassoon, James Miller, horn, and the composer on piano. The program notes from the premiere read: The pastorale, suggesting as it does the music of shepherds and their pipes, is well suited to woodwind instruments. Mr. Dykins has introduced a lively scherzo as a center section to his pastorale to afford contrast to the somewhat melancholy first and last parts of the movement. A burlesque (also burla, burlesca or burletta) is a composition in a jesting mood.
