Some good pieces at that level are:

Charles Lefebrve - suite in Bb

Hindemith, Kleine Kammermusik

Ibert - Trois Pieces Breves

Any quintets by Antonin Reicha (he wrote 28) or Franz Danzi

Milhaud, Chiminee de Roi Renee

These are all "standard" (well known) works that are moderate to difficult
but not too difficult.

There was a famous "yellow book" (containing some of these works) I think it
contained 22 quintets in all - edited by H Voxman - (possibly published by
Schirmer or Hal Leonard?)

If you could find this I think is a good choice for your quintet. I had a
quintet which stuck together for most of my university days and this book
was our "stand-by" for repertoire.

Good luck in your search and have fun!!!!

Isaac
