Subj: [kl] Woodwind Quintet? Quartet? Trio?
Date: Wed, 20 Feb 2002 13:34:12 -0500

Angelina,
Great news to hear that you will be playing some chamber
music! You're going to have a blast. As I read your post
and try to help you find music, I'm wondering if I missed an
earlier post that gave the instrumentation and level of
music you're looking for. Then I might be able to help.
There's lots of music for fl/ob/cl/bsn and there are
several fun, easy publications that have optional instrumentation
with extra parts. There's also a wonderful set of "job type"
music in collections by "Last Resort Music Publications."
They are spiral bound books for interchangeable trios, quartets,
and quintets with titles like "Traditional Christmas Music"
"Irish Music & Fiddle Tunes" etc.
Best of luck to you!

I am a high school student and I am finally trying to take everyone's advice
on starting a woodwind quartet. Actually, I'm not quite sure about the
quartet part. I already know of a talented oboe player, but I'm not sure
about a bassoon. Should I have a bassoon? Is a bass clarinet absolutely
necessary? If anyone has a general line-up of woodwind players or of
standard music this would help me lots.
