Tony Pay asks,

>Can anyone tell me what is the best wind decet by an American composer?
I have to conduct some concerts, some for children, but a 'formal' one
at the end, with the wind section of a Scandinavian orchestra. I know
that the Florent Schmitt Lied and Scherzo is good, and of course there's
the Gounod (tho' only one flute), and Michael Bryant has told me about
the Gouvy, but there *must* be something that y'all know that is
completely unknown to us in Europe.

What is it?<

I don't know of any american decets (dectets?), but can suggest to other
European works:

Divertissement in F, Op. 36, by Emile Bernard and

Decet for winds in D major, op. 14, by George Enescu.
