Someone last week asked about Peter and the Wolf for WW Quintet. My =
quintet (Powers Quintet, Central Michigan University Faculty) has =
recorded the version by Robert Ostermeyer on the Centaur label (CRC =
2774). It is a setting of the entire piece, with narration included.

&offset=3D5&search_string=3D&category=3Dcontemporary

It is a good arrangement, but, at least in the edition we had several =
years ago, there were quite a few misprints and poorly notated passages =
(things like E major chords spelled with Ab, etc.). It is also a fairly =
difficult arrangement, with the clarinet part going up to a high C# or D =
(I can't remember which).

A good source of information about WW quintet repertoire is my wife, =
Joanna Cowan White's website:
=
http://www.music.cmich.edu/about_the_school/ensembles/the_powers_woodwind_=
quintet/
The above also includes a list of works for quintet with added voice or =
instrument.

By the way, there is also information about flute/clarinet duo =
repertoire here:

Hope this helps.
