Arranged by G L Harvey. 20th Century,Film/TV,Instructional,Pop,Wedding. 22 pages. G L Harvey #839170. Published by G L Harvey (A0.1244213). This massive hit by Roy Orbison and Bill Dees has been carefully arranged for standard Wind Quintet (Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Horn in F and Bassoon) plus optional percussion.   With school and amateur ensembles in mind, this arrangement is designed for intermediate players and above.  Percussion (Drum Kit or  Cajon) can be added for additional colour if desired, but is not essential for a convincing performance.  The music is faithful in spirit to the original, with everyone having their moments in the spotlight as themes are shared by the players across the ensemble.  The PDF is 22 pages in length (portrait A4) and includes a score and parts plus optional percussion, with additional parts for Horn in Eb and Bass Clarinet to allow substitution of the Horn and Bassoon for non standard ensembles if required. The duration of the piece is about 2.20 minutes.  Look out for other instrumental versions by the same publisher for Saxophone, Clarinet and Brass Quintets.

This is “Rudolf the Red Nosed Reindeer from a collection of flex woodwind quintets arranged by Dr. Donald Jay Smith developed over years of teaching middle school band. The optimal instrumentation is, of course, Flute, Oboe, Clarinet, Bassoon and Horn. But, additional parts have been added so that a second clarinet can cover the oboe part or a second oboe can cover the clarinet part (I actually had that problem once-two great oboe players and no clarinet available to cover the part), Bass Clarinet covering Bassoon and a Bb Horn part in case the student only reads that part or the horn is covered with flugelhorn/baritone or some Bb brass instrument. The quintets were always performed one per part and the students enjoyed playing this arrangement from 6th grade through high school!

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quintet Bassoon,Clarinet,Flute,Horn,Oboe - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.813433 Composed by Johann Pachelbel. Arranged by Regis Bookshar. Baroque,Multicultural,Standards,Wedding,World. 27 pages. Regis Bookshar #6259513. Published by Regis Bookshar (A0.813433). Canon (Pachelbel) (Bb) (Woodwind Quintet) - Advanced/Intermediate - Digital Download. This selection, Johann Pachelbel's celebrated Canon, is perhaps the most famous canon ever written and has been one of my favorite compositions to arrange. A canon is a polyphonic device in which several voices play the same music, entering in sequence. Pachelbel's Canon, was originally written in the key of D Major and was scored for three violins arranged in canon, accompanied by a basso continuo which repeats the same harmonic progression throughout the entire piece. The common musical term for this is ostinato or ground bass. Regis Bookshar has now arranged this music for a Woodwind Quintet consisting of 1 Flute, 1 Oboe, 1 Clarinet, 1 French Horn and 1 Bassoon. The Flute, Oboe and Clarinet play the melody in canon while the ostinato accompaniment is played by the French Horn and the Bassoon. This arrangement is suitable for high school and college students but could also be performed by professional performers. It is perfect for concerts and church services, especially for Weddings, but could be performed for any occasion. Included are a score and a complete set of parts (27 pages). This version is written in the key of Bb Major, to make it a little easier for some younger performers, but another version is also available in the key of D Major if you would prefer. Other versions of Pachelbel's Canon have also been arranged by Regis Bookshar and are available for a wide variety of instrumental Quintets and Octets, in both the keys of D Major and Bb Major. I think that String players would probably prefer to play the versions in the key of D Major while the Brass and Woodwind musicians might prefer to play the Bb Major versions. I hope you take the time to compare the different versions to find the right version for you. To help you decide which version, or versions, you may want to choose, I have included several musical samples for you to listen to and to hear what these arrangements may sound like and so that you may compare the various arrangements. Also, just to let you know, the Octets written in the key of Bb Major have full-length recordings while the Octets in D Major and all Quintets have only the first 25 measures, or so, available to hear. Please feel free to search for other arrangements by Regis Bookshar which are also available. There are quite a few other arrangements in a variety of styles and I'm certain you will find something else which might interest you as well. Please keep checking because I plan to continue to add new arrangements as often as I can. I'm certain that this exciting arrangement of Pachelbel's Canon will be a challenge to some performers but will continue to entertain both performers and audiences alike for years to come.

G L Harvey #4633265. Published by G L Harvey (A0.805854). This rousing, stately and reflective piece of music has been arranged for Saxophone Quintet & optional Timpani. With concerts and memorial performances in mind, this arrangement is popular with players and audiences alike. After an expressive opening, the melody moves around the ensemble, exploiting interesting changes in time signature and texture, gradually leading to a final climax and closing flourish. The difficulty level is about ABRSM grade 5-6. The PDF is 11 pages in length (portrait A4) and includes a full score and parts for Alto 1 & 2, Tenor 1 & 2, Baritone and Timpani. The timpani part is desirable for some added gravitas but not essential. The duration of the piece is 2 minutes 50 seconds.  Please note that versions of this arrangement are also available for brass band, brass and wind quintets.
