Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quintet - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.553501 Composed by Ludwig van Beethoven. Arranged by Ray Thompson. Classical,Holiday,Standards. 10 pages. RayThompsonMusic #2998471. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.553501). One of Beethoven's well known and popular tunes.Arranged for wind quintet and transposed up to Bb major I have attempted to arrange it as the composer would have done using the horn available during his lifetime. The horn part is  therefore written for natural horn in Bb basso.  (I  also enclose a horn in F part.) The Bb basso part is there for your horn player's delight!! (or not!!) I have taken some sympathetic liberties with the broken chords and added other notes of a sustaining nature. I have changed some of the bars containing triplet semiquavers to give a less heavy feel. I feel this gives a better classical soundCheck out my other Beethoven arrangements (mostly for wind quintet, but some string quartet) : various Piano Sonata mvts, Symphony movts, Turkish March, Fur Elise, Trio and Sextet

Small Ensemble Bassoon,Clarinet,Flute,Horn,Oboe - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.811822 Composed by W. A. MOZART (1756 - 1791). Arranged by Pat Spence. Classical,Concert,Graduation,Holiday,Wedding. Score and parts. 100 pages. Piper Publications #6657067. Published by Piper Publications (A0.811822). The Divertimento, originally for an orchestra (flute, oboe, bassoon, 4 horns and strings) was completed in June 1772 in Salzburg.  It was probably written for an outdoor performance and Mozart certainly made full use of the opportunity to display his remarkable talents both to his prospective patrons and his talented fellow musicians who would have performed this extensive six movement piece.There are six movements, Allegro, a substantial sonata form piece; Adagio, a  sophisticated piece written for strings only; a gem of a Menuetto with three trios; Allegretto; a Menuetto with 2 trios and a final Adagio - Allegro molto - Allegro assai forms the grand finale. The scale and sophistication of this piece is far beyond that of the early symphonies which Mozart composed around the same time.The arrangement is suitable for advanced and advanced intermediate players.In editing and arranging the Divertimento for flute, oboe, clarinet, bassoon and horn it has been necessary to add phrase marks (shown in dashed lines) and extra staccato dots - not indicated. The lack of dynamic markings especially in the latter movements has been remedied in parentheses ( ). Some octave transpositions both up and down have been necessary and the glory of the four horn sections of the original have been re-scored as sympathetically as I am able.I do hope that quintet players will enjoy this arrangement of a very remarkable piece.

Small Ensemble Bassoon,Clarinet,Flute,Horn,Oboe - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.811825 Composed by Joseph Haydn (1736 - 1809). Arranged by Pat Spence. Classical,Concert,Graduation,Standards,Wedding. Score and parts. 70 pages. Piper Publications #6689615. Published by Piper Publications (A0.811825). This early symphony (No. 8) was composed in 1761, the last of a set of three - 'Le Matin', 'La Midi' and 'Le Soir' (Morning, Mid day & Evening). The scoring was similar to the Bach Brandenburg concertos in that the wind players (flute, 2 oboes, bassoon & 2 horns) were treated as soloists along with the leaders of the string sections - except the violas. The musical style however, was remarkably well along the road to Haydn's Classical style. The four movements, Allegro molto, Andante,Menuetto & Trio and La tempesta - Presto which represents a storm. Haydn must have been very pleased  with the last movement as he used the broken chord theme which first appears in the flute in his final work, The Seasons, again to represent a storm.The arrangement provides rewarding parts for a quintet of players of advanced intermediate standard and above.

The Sonata is the second of a set of 6 composed in 1810 for violin & piano. The Three movements, Espagnuola, Adagio & Air Polonais., have been arranged for flute, oboe, clarinet in Bb, horn in F and bassoon. Players of intermediate standard and above will enjoy the lively outer movements and the contemplative short Adagio.

This is the third of the six Milan string quartets, here arranged for woodwind quintet. The three movements, Presto, Adagio and Tempo di Menuetto, are well contrasted. While clearly influenced by Joseph Haydn, there are many signs of Mozart's originality too. The set of parts includes a choice of both A and Bb clarinet parts. Players of Intermediate standard and above will enjoy the lively outer movements and the challenge of the exquisite Adagio.

Woodwind Ensemble,Woodwind Quintet - Level 3 - Digital Download SKU: A0.1293386 Composed by W.A. Mozart (1757 - 1791). Arranged by Pat Spence. Chamber,Classical,Instructional,Wedding. 50 pages. Piper Publications #883916. Published by Piper Publications (A0.1293386). This quintet is an arrangement of the third of a set of six string quartets known as the Milan Quartets. Composed between 1772 & 1773 and strongly influenced by Joseph Haydn's quartets, all the quartets in the set show Mozart's development of his own artistic style. The three movements, Allegro, Andante, poco Allegretto and Tempo di Minuetto are well contrasted and are well suited to the arrangement for wind instruments. The fifteen minute performance time makes this work suitable for a variety of performance venues. The musical interest is equally distributed between the 5 players.

Small Ensemble Bassoon,Clarinet,Flute,Horn,Oboe - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.811816 Composed by Georg Philipp Telemann (1681 - 1767). Arranged by Pat Spence. Baroque,Concert,Graduation,Standards. Score and parts. 38 pages. Piper Publications #6509201. Published by Piper Publications (A0.811816). This six movement suite was composed between 1700 and 1750 - most likely near to the beginning of the 18th century when Telemann was using older style titles for the 6 movements - Overture, Chasse, Menuet, La Toye, Sarabande and Loure. Telemann did not indicate any dynamics, instead relying on contrasting pairs of players and the full ensemble. Advanced intermediate players will enjoy the well contrasted, mostly lively movements. Horn players may prefer to transpose some passages down an octave. Some trills have been added and dashed slurs to match the few indicated in the original set of parts. The Suite is very likely to have been performed at outside and inside events and the mode of performance adapted accordingly.

Small Ensemble Bassoon,Clarinet,Flute,Horn,Oboe - Level 4 - Digital Download SKU: A0.811768 Composed by Johann Pachelbel (1653 - 1706). Arranged by arranged by Pat Spence. Baroque,Concert,Graduation,Standards,Wedding. Score and parts. 48 pages. Piper Publications #6092455. Published by Piper Publications (A0.811768). The Chaconne was composed for organ but not published during Johann Pachelbel’s lifetime. First Publication was in 1901 by Breitkopf und Härtel. The four bar/measure theme is repeated as are all 25 variations. In almost every instance the repeat would have been more elaborate or played in a different register on the organ.In arranging the Chaconne for wind players I have used the different characteristics of the wind instruments in varying combinations and changes of register to create what I hope is an enjoyable and entertaining concert piece for players of advanced intermediate standard. The three part writing has been expanded to the five instruments of the standard woodwind quintet to give a wider scope for variation of scoring which also enables the players some breathing space.The dynamic markings are editorial so do feel free to use your own.

Score and parts. 40 pages. Piper Publications #5997395. Published by Piper Publications (A0.811759). This is the first of three consort sets composed in 1644 for 5 viols with optional organ. The three movements, Fantazy, Pavan and Aire have been arranged for flute, oboe, clarinet in Bb, bassoon and horn in F for players of advanced intermediate standard. The metronome speed indicated is for guidance only and players should feel free to add decorations such as trills where they seem to be appropriate. The contrapuntal style requires the five players to listen carefully to each other and provides an opportunity to develop the feel of being a quintet rather than five players playing the same piece.
