This is Die Fledermaus 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 I had always performed this one per part and enjoyed this from 6th grade through high school!
