Christmas,Romantic Period. 11 pages. RayThompsonMusic #749729. Published by RayThompsonMusic (A0.1149582). Arranged wind quintet Horn in Bb basso (alt hn in F) The six Kinderstücke, Op 72, along with the separate Andante in E flat major and Sostenuto in F major, were written in 1842 for the children of F W Benecke, a London wool merchant who was the uncle of Mendelssohn’s wife, Cécile (née Jeanrenaud). Exhibiting distinctive characteristics of the Lieder ohne Worte (treble song-like melodies and ternary ABA forms, for example), these pieces belong as well to the category of children’s music, in the tradition, say, of Schumann’s Klavieralbum für die Jugend and Bizet’s later Jeux d’enfants, and evince a naive innocence reflective of their intended audience. Of the eight, Mendelssohn ultimately chose six to shape into Op 72, the last work he saw through the press. It appeared in December 1847, one month after his death, and in England with the designation of ‘Christmas pieces’. This is my arrangement of No.5 Allegro assai.

Mezzo-soprano and wind quintet - Digital Download SKU: S9.Q47340 Six songs based on poems by Théophile Gautier. Composed by Hector Berlioz. Arranged by Henk de Vlieger. This edition: score (also performance score). Der intime Charakter des sechsteiligen Liederzyklus bleibt auch in dieser Bearbeitung mit einer außergewöhnlichen Besetzung erhalten: Oboe d'amore, Englisch Horn und Bassklarinette verleihen jedem Lied eine eigene und spezifische Farbe. Downloadable, Score (also performing score). Duration 31' 0. Schott Music - Digital #Q47340. Published by Schott Music - Digital (S9.Q47340). French.This arrangement of the well-known song cycle by Berlioz was commissioned by a Dutch ensemble in 2008. The arranger Henk de Vlieger made it his business to give expression to the intimate character of the six songs. Here the oboe d'amore, cor anglais and bass clarinet give each song its own distinctive colour. The result, however, was so convincing that de Vlieger wondered 'why Berlioz himself had not considered such an instrumentation'.
