A lovely quartet for flute, oboe, Bb clarinet, and bassoon written in the style of Renaissance counterpoint.  3 page score (1 page parts), about 2 minutes in duration.  

This was written while I was studying 16th Century counterpoint, and I thought it was so nice I arranged it for woodwind quartet.  Do to the nature of the style, each part has only about an octave range, there's only a few accidentals, and the rhythms aren't too complicated.  The main challenges for the less advanced musician would be the slow pace in 4/2 time and the long flowing phrases.
