Several sets of Finale .MUS and MIDI files are available for downloading
and your playing pleasure:

1. Joseph Lauber, Quatre Intermezzi for flute, clarinet, English horn and
bassoon.
I actually played this one in performance recently for the 80th birthday
bash of the bassoonist who is (still!) a music teacher in the Long Beach
Unified School District and former counsellor at Arrowbear Music camp. I
would not have sequenced it except that I would NEVER have gotten the
rhythm right if I hadn't had one or two tracks to give me guidance. I
added a wood block tempo sound for those of you who may need it. It was
composed in 1922 and Lauber died in 1952 so it is possibly still under
copyright. If I receive a complaint from the copyright owner I'll remove
it from my page, so you better download it, pronto! I'm not much of a fan
of 20th century music but I think this one is a winner! I've never heard
of Lauber (evidently neither have the folks at Grove) so the presence of
the quartet here can only enhance his reputation and perhaps the sales of
other offerings of the publisher.

2. Mozart, W.A., Canonic Adagio for two basset horns and bassoon. KV484d (410)
Interesting, but not as interesting as his other Adagio adjacent to this
one on my page, in my opinion.

3. Mozart, W.A., Divertimento for wind octet, KVA227. A pleasant period
piece which I hope we'll hear on Sunday afternoons at the park during the
Quarter Millennium celebration of the composer's birth in 2006.

Happy playing all!
