Hi Randy,

The term "clarinet quintet" is used to refer to a piece for clarinet with
string quartet. Not generally a piece with 5 clarinets. In fact
offhand, I can't think of any original (non-arrangement or
non-educationally-oriented) works for 5 clarinets. Of course you have no
way of actually knowing this until someone tells you!
