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. 6'30
The 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.
